Highlights of Day 3 - where does time go??

Can I start a petition to have Vacation days last for 26 or 27 hours instead of 24?  That'd be great, kthx.




Highlights, again to be explained later:

-Getting lost for 2 hours in random bits of London, trying to find a shoe store that sells athletic/running shoes - which is nearly impossible, apparently...

-Finally giving up and going down to the City to visit the Xactware office - Andrew Bresler was out for lunch..sad panda.

-Tower of London!!!   Hilarious Beefeater tourguide.   It's a bit morbid, but I could spend all day walking the walls and towers and dungeons and everything.  I stood in the place where Anne Bolynn (sp?) got her head all chopped off..   Oh, and the Crown Jewels = huge.  500+ Carat diamond.  Dibs!

-KFC in London - who'da thunk?

-Orange Fanta -- actually tastes like carbonated orange juice, ftw!

-Camera battery died, so, detour back to Megan's place for a couple hours..

-Harrods.  Omg.   Chocolate bar.   Full city block, one store, with everything imaginable.  Nuff said.

-King's Cross station and Platform 9 and 3/4.  :)   Which, incidentally, due to construction in platforms 9 and 10 had been moved to just off platform 8.  Go figure.


Tomorrow:   Imperial War Museum, Buckingham Palace, Parliament/Big Ben in the day, Cabinet war rooms, Westminster area and Abbey, hopefully Les Miserables at night..
