Manchester - The Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution

Downtown Manchester is just about like any big city.  Tall buildings, old buildings, newer buildings.  Our hotel is again right on the Thames, although this part of the river looks like a black canal.  Manchester does offer some great shopping.  I treated myself to an afternoon of walking around, seeing a movie, and of course, shopping!
This is their version of the "Andy Gump" - much cuter, eh?

After a long dinner at a superb Italian restaurant with the whole European Sales Team, John and I planned out next adventure:  leaving Friday at noon after his meetings and taking the train to Windermere!

Those are the kinds of Andy Gumps that they have in San Jose, CA. But you have to have change to use it. It is fifty cents to go in.

Just wondering...on your next big business trip are you planning to take your four parents???? just kidding! Looks like a dream business-vacation.
