Sandi and Robyn were excited to see Caldecott's home
The Tower of London - William the Conqueror built it in 1078
Biking by Buckingham Palace - Queen Victoria lived here in 1837.
All our guests have gone home - all Lulu's classes are over. It is hard to believe that all the time has come and gone. A week in Greece - a month in Germany - a week in Denmark - and a month in London. Throw in a wild weekend in Nancy - France.
The best part is all of our family and friends that gave their time to come to see us. There is nothing better than traveling with people you love. I am really appreciative of Lulu's work providing these opportunities. It is not bragging to say that we go home richer than when we came. Not just money - but shared experiences. I doubt that we could afford this - if I had to pay the bills. An old school marm's pension wasn't meant to travel the world.
Tomorrow at 10 AM - FSU sends a limo over to take us to Heathrow Airport. We leave London at 2 pm - go to Atlanta - then arrive home in Tallahassee around 10 PM.
Hopefully - all of the above paragraph is wrong - our plane is booked solid and we are hoping to be bumped.
The best part of the EuroFest is easy to say - tooling around with Max in the taxis - buses and tubes. The second best part was getting the $4000 bump from Delta on the trip over. Just sitting at a table on the main plaza in Nancy-France with my bride on our anniversary was special. Finally - frowning and crying in Nuremberg at the Nazi parade grounds and court. We have been excited - happy - melancholy - sad - pensive - and content. We really enjoyed this place - but we are eager to get home and get on with life.
Autogyro at air show - not a helicopter - safer
Honda 3 wheel - neat scooter
No screen time for these kids
I like these pay toilets - pee for 40 p
Supper in our courtyard with Lulu's class
Enjoying tea in the Shard
The Tower Bridge - once powered by steam engine
HMS Belfast in Thames - take a tour
St Pauls Cathedral.
My favorite bathroom
High tea at the Shard
Restaurant up on the Shard. Observation deck is 25 pounds a person. This restaurant is free when you buy drinks. We enjoyed an hour there with drinks - 18 pounds total for 4
Food Tour with JP and Wanda - also Brooks - Claire - Meg - Lulu
Neat deejay jeep. Top cranks up for deejay stand
It is fun to go in a museum and see your Tallahassee neighbor - George Clinton - King of Funk.
Hula hoop show at the Somerset House
Lion King in background along The Strand
Bike Saturday in London - carless main streets
St James Gardens
Wind Relief Medication
To me - this Victoria House reminded me of my old school - The Panther Valley Middle School
The Beatles played Royal Albert Hall
Royal Albert Hall is so big - it had a cloud forming inside
The Proms at Royal Albert Hall
Symphony and Choir
Robyn and Sandi - Nancy - Royal Albert Hall
The Tube was crowded because bikes closed the main streets
