Here's where we were staying. Not specifically here, in this terrific abandoned factory, but really close.

I couldn't wait to explore this factory, then got the wise directive to "not do anything that would have a team of people helping me" and then, the biggest letdown of all, I didn't have the right pants or shoes with me to be truly effective.

Then there was the small detail of at least three slightly aggressive looking cats whose mansion I would be disturbing.

But now I know where this wonderful place is -- will I ever get back?
