Hello

Thank you to Graham for organizing the Real Life European Cities Tour
in Second Life, where we visited Liverpool and Barcelona and even had
time for a chat in a pub.

I have blogged (www.avatarlanguages.com/blog
<http://www.avatarlanguages.com/blog> ) about some of the ideas
discussed. Perhaps Graham, you will blog yourself about the meeting
(transcript too?).

See you all at next week's meeting – same time, same place?

With best wishes
Howard
