Photos of my day in the city
I got into London just after 10 am. I picked up my breakfast (a pasty) and ate it while I meandered toward the Thames. This is the clock at Waterloo Station. I found this paver while I was walking toward the Jubilee Bridge. In the many, many times I’ve passed this way, I have never [...]
The Roman Baths, England

The journey was about 2 hours—about the same as driving—and cost ₤53 per adult/₤26.50 per child (for us, about ₤132.50/$265).

Actually, that means he gets to go into the office, sign a bunch of papers, get his laptop, organize (organise) cell phones, etc. He has lunch with one of his bosses on Friday and then has his orientation beginning next Tuesday. However, he is excited to be [...]
