Me and my roommate Dan. He's a turbine engineer at Honeywell so he might even have been more interested in this stuff than me. Many of his company's products are in the A380 that we're going to see.

The immense castle & town of Carcassonne. A little touristy but the castle and town inside the old city walls were cool. Huge- our guide said the city walls were 5 km long with over 50 towers.
