Our stay in London with the Great Ormond Street group was, as with every other center that we have attended thus far, a fantastic experience. We learned about the clubfoot and congenital hand programs at (oh my) GOSH, and also spent time in the clinics. I have to say, from a food standpoint, we had three fantastic dinners in London (really! - no jokes about English food). Below is a picture from dinner at the OXO tower. We had a window seat with a 270 degree view of London. Thanks Deborah, what a beautiful city!</div>

As Michelle mentioned last post, I was able to spend some time at the British Museum. In the ancient greek section, I ran across the following displays on medicine. Note the preoperative exam by the ancient pediatric orthopedic surgeon. And you think that your osteotomes need sharpening!</div>

In Oxford we met our local host Tim Theologis. We visited the relatively new orthopaedic facility, Nuffield Orthopaedic Center.......<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
......which was incidentally the former home of Professor GR Girdlestone. So much history here!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
We took a tour of the Botnar Research Center. This state of the art facility is entirely devoted to the investigation of musculoskeletal basic science, including biochemistry, physiology and bioengineering.<br />
<br />

This visit was followed by a tour of their beautiful gait lab and an introduction to some of the work promoted by this center. Tim Theologis, Rachel Buckingham, Andy Wainwright and the rest of this impressive group are clearly on the leading edge of care for children with cerebral palsy:</div>

On Wednesday, we spent the morning in clinic and the afternoon giving and listening to lectures. The highlight for me was the review by Colin Nnadi of his early experience with magnetically controlled growing rods. That night we had dinner at St. Hugh's College (one of the 38 colleges composing this most ancient of universities).</div>

We had a great curry for dinner Saturday night. On Sunday, we split up to do some exploring - Matt at the Tate Modern (where a mirror hung on the wall allows the person to read their own expression into the artwork), Klane at the British Museum, and I went exploring and shopping. The weather cleared and we went to the London Eye in the evening.</div>

Vienna, Austria.........what a beautiful city! We arrived here on Wednesday from Aarhus to gorgeous spring weather. The temperatures have been a "warm" welcome from the colds of Scandanavia. Professor Franz Frill, of Orthadisches Spital Speising, has been our most gracious host.</div>

As you can see above right, limb reconstruction is a big part of what this group specializes in. Of course, they also have expertise in many other aspects of pediatric orthopaedics, including cerebral palsy, DDH and skeletal dysplasias. On day one, we were welcomed into the OR with Dr. Walter Strobl, who specializes in cerbral palsy. He shared with us his technique of percutaneous myotomy for the treatment of spasticity (here Michelle joins in the fun!):</div>

That night we were treated to a dinner of traditional Viennese food with Professor Grill. There we ate Wiener Schnitzel. This is not a hot dog! It is pretty much veal scallopine, flattened, breaded and fried. Absolutely delicious! The next morning it was back to the hospital. Morning rounds and case review were followed by the limb reconstruction outpatient clinic. Professor Grill and his colleague, Dr. Rudolf (Rudi) Ganger, see an amazing array of patients with limb deficiencies and post traumatic deformities. They're tool of choice is the Taylor Spatial Frame. That afternoon, we were treated to a private tour of Vienna. Our host, Ulrich (Uli) Hahnkamper was a terrific guide (a little plug for Uli - highly recommended!).</div>

Our tour started outside the Ringstrasse. This street (strasse) denotes the site of the original medieval wall which made a "ring" around the city. The wall was torn down in the 1800's, during the reign of Emperor Fraz Joseph, and converted into a beautiful tree-lined boulevard. The day included a trip to the Belvedere Palace and the home of Sigmund Freud. Unfortunately, his couch has been moved to London, so we couldn't lay down for a rest!</div>

His presence was an added bonus to the trip, as he is incredibly knowledgable and friendly.Dinner that evening was again fantastic. This was at the Do & Co Stephansplatz. The view of Stephansdom (The Cathedral of St. Stephan) was incredible. The food and drink were equally impressive!</div>

Sites for the day included a private tour of the Lipizzan horse stables, very few people get this close to the Lipizzaners. Our tour guide, Uli, said that he never had had such an opportunity (thanks to Prof. Grill). We also toured the inner city this time (inside the ringstrasse), which included the home of Amadeus Mozart and an inside view of St. Stephan's Cathedral:</div>

Ole Rahbek smiles for the camera. We also toured the Skejby Hospital laboratory where surgery is performed in the lab setting with state of the art ORs, imaging (all MRIs are 50% patient time, 50% research time), and lab equipment (MTS, confocal microscopy, histology, microCT). Tonight is dinner at a local restaurant.

This meeting was a wonderful kickstart to our European tour. We head to Denmark today. Saturday afternoon was free, so we decided to explore the City of Helsinki. Helsinki, sitting on the border of western and eastern Europe has a beautiful blend of culture. From a religious standpoint this means protestant Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox. Like other European capitals, the cathedrals are amazing. The Lutheran cathedral, formerly know as the Cathedral of St. Nicolai (now just "the cathedral" out of anti-Russian sentiment) is shown here:<br />

As you can see, this shot was taken from the open air market. While we were there, Matt and Michelle did a little bargain hunting:<br />

It's still not clear to me whether or not the Fins consider themselves Scandanavian, but the other booths definitely gave Helsinki a Scandanavian feel:</div>

Unfortunately, for us, the weather still feels quite Scandanavian, so we passed on the outdoor food experience and made our way through downtown Helsinki. The city is primarily composed of 5 and 6 story buildings (very 19th century in feel), but rivals any major city in shopping options. I did not stop in H&M for my daughter however! Here Matt and Michelle are seen walking in the distance down the main shopping drag. The street car system, which is quite cool, is also seen:<br />

As you may have noticed, I have a big focus on food. I love exploring foreign countries via the culinary experience. This is not good for my attempt to keep the weight off! Nonetheless, we received a great referral from the front desk receptionist and ended up at an off the beaten path Finnish restaurant (in English - "Seahorse"), where Matt and I dined on the herring that SO caught our eyes:</div>
