Trip so far
Alright, this is done before I read each of your replies. I've found an internet cafe right next to the laundry place. The connection speed is fantastic. Inexpensive also.
Whilst in Warwick last week, Mr. Foster past us by. I tried to track him down, but he wouldn't stop. Kept driving that truck of his. Funny, he didn't look like Joe, but he put his name on the side of the truck.
King Lear was fairly good. The play was in a location that was "identical" to the one he use to perform his plays in. All wood. short benches, open air. I mean location, in the Building, not exact site. The Building is similar to "Shakespear in Love" where you see a lot of his performance for Romeo and Juliet. It got pretty cool last night so the open air made it colder than needed.
The weather has been quite nice. According to the Excite web page, it shows that London is quite a bit warmer (about 10 degrees).
Tomorrow I'm going to try to see Madam Troussard's wax museum.
We leave Saturday morning for France (Lyon). We'll be there until about Thursday, then head to Paris with nothing to do but shop and tour.
I think Azucena has half day Friday so we'll tour together the rest of the time.
All in all, it has been a real pleasant trip. Everything has gone pretty good. Because of the Hoof and Mouth scare, most of the Steak restaurants here are pretty empty. We haven't had a chance to eat at one, but the wait should be real minimal. I've been meaning to try the Texas Rib House down the street from our Hotel, but haven't been able to get there for lunch or dinner. Maybe soon. Suppose to have good ribs and margaritas and fajitas, etc. People from Texas say leave it alone, but if I have one more of their sandwich....
Azucena's class went to Lloyd's of London yesterday. They had a great time. They had on display the actual recording of their insurance page for the Titanic. A lot of people took stock in that one for the reason of it being unsinkable. But I also imagine a lot of those people went broke because of it.
We've found a Burger King on almost every corner. Starbucks too. Mail ect. anyone? What about Domino's pizza. I have been to a few museums and each of them had several groups of school kids. Their assignments were to find certain items. Like a scavenger hunt.
I have to get going. It's after 4 and I heard during lunch that they will be getting out early.
Cheers, Chow, See Ya, bye.
