Agritechnica Hanover - Pöttinger France

During the past weeks I was on two business trips. The first onewas to Europe's largest agricultural trade fair in Hanover: http:www.agritechnica.de Over 300,000 visitors came to visit the fair over a period of one week. I only attended during the second half of the week, though when I came home it felt as though I attended a whole week. It is quite exhausting to be working at an info-stand from 8.00 a.m. until about 6.00 p.m. without any notable break - going out to supper thereafter and never find the way to bed before 2-3 a.m. Oh my!

After just one day at home, I had the opportunity to attend a sales meeting in France with our daughter Pöttinger France. It was my second time to Pöttinger France in Le Bonhomme, near Strasbourg and the welcome was (again) a very warm one. This time I took my camera with me and took some pictures. It seems as though the sales meeting consisted of bowling and a snowball fight - but that is not so. There was actually heated debates and interesting presentations.

Being back home after those two trips is, however, a very good feeling. Laundry needed to be done and the apartment needed a thorough clean-up. All that done, my weekend is over again - and I am ready to start a new week! :)
