Staying out of barney
Mike and I just returned from London, where we spent the week basking in the British sun. No joke - not a drop of rain - and it was actually quite a bit warmer than we had anticipated. In fact, since it's been 8 years since my last trek to Europe, I had forgotten the rarity that is air-conditioning there. The air-stiffling Tube sufficiently transported us from point A to point B, where I often arrived with a very angry Mike. Needless to say, we did much more walking... We spent the first portion of our time as tourists, visiting well known spots like Westminster, the British Museum (I still maintain that going there is like traveling the world, since they've succeeded at not only "borrowing" but also keeping the worlds historical treasures), the Tower of London, and of course, Harrods. We then stayed with Mike's friend Janet and her boyfriend Alan. They showed us around to the lesser tourist-travelled spots, but we mainly enjoyed their company. Mike took a crapload of photos, which I will, at some point, post in my album for you to see. Until then, cheers and mind the gap!
