Work Trip to Europe - Day 4

This is actually a picture of Conwy Castle that we drove by on the way up to Chester the day before.  This is this super formidable looking fortress built in the 13th century.  We didn't have time to get out, but you can actually drive your car right by this castle if you take a small detour on the way up to Chester.  

 

In any case, the next morning, John once again picked me up from my hotel in Chester and we headed over to Northwich.  We have a small corporate office that mostly houses the sales and quality teams (10-15 people) in a small building.  Thankfully, the drive is a rather short 20 minutes or so.  We spent the day there and then headed back to Chester for the late afternoon and evening.

John was going to meet me for a drink later, so I decided to see more of the city (this time with a bit more sunlight still shining).  This is the bridge gate and old Dee bridge.  IT was beautiful and the river was lined with these immense estates.

Continuing on, I arrived at the Chester Racecourse.  This area is known for horse racing and this is a very famous racetrack in the area.  It was built in 1539 and is the oldest race track still in use in the entire world.  No races were currently going on, but I guess when it's not being used runners can job along the inside of the track.  Pretty neat!

Across the street from the racetrack is this really great pub called The Architect.  We had a nice drink before I had to head back back to the hotel.  Tomorrow, I had to get up early to fly back to the US.
