Before I launch into travel tales, let me say that I am back! We got in last night and are playing some serious catch-up in terms of laundry and household stuffs, including eating things that aren’t espresso, waffles, pastries and beer. I’m also doing some serious inbox management (yes, I will respond to you!) but first I wanted to get these images up so I can make room for more wedding stuff. Yay, wedding stuff! It’s really good to be back. The trip was excellent but very long and it’s good to be at home, where I feel I can think straight.
It is. It really is.
Yeoman Warder at the Tower of London. This dude was really great at tour-giving.
Hee hee.
Lloyd’s of London. I don’t know what they do, but their building is really cool – lots of exposed ductwork and clear elevators on the outside of the building that shoot up to 30 stories or whatever that is.
Still in jolly old England for the moment. Since I last checked in, I’ve spent plenty more time in Oxford and also hopped a plane for Paris and spent a lovely weekend with my husband there. Paris makes London seem inexpensive, so there’s that. But otherwise, it was quite impressive, if not overwhelmingly “romantic”, as the books and movies and such would have you believe. It’s nice to be back “home” anyway, at Oxford. George expressed regret that we didn’t take a side-trip from Paris, to complete the trip-ception (I do hope some of you are picking up on this reference.)
