But better is beer if drink you lack...


The Hillgate, Notting Hill

Today was museum day. British Museum and the Hadrian exhibit in the AM, walk throgh Hyde Park, then Natural History Museum in the afternoon. Of course we spent way too much time in the British, and of course it took longer to walk through the park than we had planned. Altogether a good time was had by all, even though our brains a-splode. There was so much to see! We concentrated on the Hadrian stuff (his boyfriend was really pretty) and the mummies (nice blokes, very dry humor). We could spend a week there. Natural History: dinosaurs. We even saw our favorite - a pleasiasaur. Then, the tube at rush hour back to our Notting Hill lodgings, and the corner pub. Sam had bangers and mash, as if that's a surprise to anyone. We are now resting our feet and watching football with the neigborhood. My feet hurt, but it's a good pain. London has a very fine texture: lots to see and absorb, but presented in zillions of small bits.

What, no magical Leopluridon to guide you on your way? Oh well it seems that you have found your own "Candy Mountain" drink one for me.
