A night to remember!

The conference started to shut down already by lunch on Thursday. I therefore focused on walking through the exhibition in the morning as well as the map gallery. My most memorable moments of the morning was receiving a t-shirt with the text "I love maps" and a few of the maps from the map gallery.













A few of the maps that I liked.

Martin, I and Kricke had the longest lunch break of the week since we waited for our sushi for about 45 to 50 minutes. But at least we got a discount on the bill and pretty good sushi but far from the best. And we got the chance to watch Spiderman crawl down Hardrock Cafe. We don't know if the scene was filmed for the upcoming Spiderman-movie or if it had to do with the next conference at the convention centre, Comic Con, that is focused on the popular arts.

Comic Con with approximately 140 000 visitors begins on July 18th.




We also saw a pretty cool wall painting during our lunch.

After another technical workshop in the afternoon the gang (Martin, Kricke, I and our other two colleagues) headed off to Balboa Park for the annual ESRI user conference party. Balboa Park is a kind of museum park with all these different museums placed in the same area. The food and the music entertainment was great but I think Martin enjoyed his meeting with a parrot the most.

The menu for a food stop could look like this.



Walking around in Balboa Park. Martin and I met this interesting guy that wasn't there for the party but who lived close by. He told us that he had been Gail Devers trainer when she was young and that he had an uncle who had been designing Volvo cars for awhile in Malmö.


Martin's new love interest.



The park was lit up pretty nicely.

Before ending our last night in San Diego we had to have another Frozen Margarita at Fred's. This time Martin and I shared a strawberry obe that was way better than the original both to colour and taste.



Frozen Strawberry Margarita! The best!
