| Joan's place is the white one building on the left - the yellow middle one is Alan Turing's old home |
Today we celebrated Easter with a Sunday Roast. We went to Florentino's - Joan had lamb - Lulu and I had beef. On the way home - we walked past Alan Turing's house. His old home is right next to Joan's place here.
Alan Turing is considered the Father of Digital Computing. During World War II - he designed the computer that broke the German Nazi Enigma Code. They say it shortened World War II by 4 years. The man was a real genius - in a world that uses the term lightly. The movie - The Imitation Game - was his life story.
This section of London is called Little Venice next to Maida Vale next to St Johns Wood.
On Tuesday - we will take the express train under the English Channel to Belgium. Wednesday we fly home - Brussels to Atlanta to Tallahassee. The reason we fly home from Belgium is because it is only $500 - versus $1500 from London.
