Woke in Edinburgh today. Ms. Annalee graciously spent her day showing me the town.
First stop was St. Giles Cathedral; a classic old gothic cathedral which is still operating as a cathedral. This can't be taken for granted in Edinburgh. It's a town half built out of blackened old cathedrals and castles, only some of which are still serving their original purpose. The rest have...

It must be nice to have taken our weather with you. Please be sure to return it when you are finished.
Also, I'd love to go to the globe. Someday, someday.

Well put about the food. On both counts.
Smashing you made it there, my brother would be happy. There really is nothing like seeing a production of one of Shakespeare's works by a company that truly understands what they're saying and doing.

Nice. What were your settings on those first two?
redvillain:
I thought they were too clean to have been hand held

Just another day in London.
toothpickmoe:
Thank you, sir. So much for no travel this year...
Head hit pillow at early eve yesterday and 4 days of barely sleeping had their say. In vastly better shape now.

Greenwich is neat too!
Also, I've heard that Canadian customs are much tougher than they ever used to be.

Punch & Judy! For the love of puppetry, I must help you with this.
The only tips I have - Covent Garden is where P&J started out, so there's sometimes performances there. And there also should be regular shows (now that it's during the summer months) at Crystal Palace Park.

It's been an auspicious start to the journey abroad. An early morning waking, 2 transfers into Toronto, then Air India to Heathrow. I'm scribbling this out on the tube ride into central London.
It's all been pleasant so far. My last encounter with the Canadian authorities involved my not being allowed into their good country. This time they waved me into the side room where...

I still need to get to the UK at some point. Happy travels abroad!!
heracleitus:
That's what you get for using a term like "Western Vegetarian" or was that like a checkbox thing? 
Hope you're enjoying things so far!

There. It all fit into the pack on the first try. But I can do better. There's more to get rid of yet.
Tomorrow's the day. Leaving the home country and her comforts behind for a while.

Update: Canada required that I formally immigrate, for all of four hours. BONUS PASSPORT STAMP FTW!

Can't wait to read all about your travels.
Arrived back at my parent's house, Mobile, Al.
Next stop: London.

The last few days were spent with scattered friends, reconvening in Huntsville, AL. for our yearly catch-up and geek-out festival of gaming. It was quite grand, but made up of all the sort of stories that don't work when you don't know the folks being talked about. Instead I shall leave you with...

Oh yeah, and if you can find a Govinda, eat there!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Fuck, I hate that auto-correct function, since I end up attempting to write the same word five times before I get it.

What do you mean by trending to coding for your iPhone? I'm still trying to figure mine out
otoki:
Ah that makes more sense. Mostly I'm having trouble hitting the right fucking keys when I type. I'm also frustrated that if I fuck up a word I can't arrow over to the mistake and I have to delete the entire word. Oh and it's an iTouch not an iPhone if that makes a difference.
Drove 1,500 miles east since last sleep. This is a bad idea that keeps recurring in my life.
