I wanted to do something a bit different for my final night, and I almost missed everything due to the classic London subway hassle of major delays due to “signalling falures” .

But I took a different route and “flew” on the London Eye and it was fun – and a bit scary.

While I don’t […]

Conversation a week or so ago, around when Lia and Jenny returned home:
Jenny: Lia, how did you like London?
Lia: Too many cities and buildings

Sunday morning, the ultimate travel disaster: Wake up late, have a nice late breakfast at a local cafe, and then spill my cappuccino on my shirt and shorts – and I only have 1 pair of shorts on this trip, being such an incredible packer, and I was gonna walk around today, and I hate […]

On Saturday I finally got out of town – took the train to Windsor to see Windsor Castle and The Long Walk
Some parts of the castle are still under construction – or being fixed I guess:

At the end of the movie everyone clapped which people in […]

Dateline Saturday
Walking Tall

Tate Britian
Tate Modern

Sheri returns from Paris Thur nite and we go out to a great Indian restaurant specializing in the food of Goa. The waiters there were very nice – soon after we were seated they brought Lia a new doll (in its plastic packaging) for Lia to play with.
Friday we all pack into a cab and […]

I was gonna take today, Wednesday, off and to go the Royal Botanic Gardens but the sky was gray and then it rained a bit. Lia has said her stomach hurts on and off and said so again this morning. Jenny thought that she, herself, was getting sick.
Mid-afternoon I talk to Jenny and it sounds […]
