More London Day 2


We walked 5.478 miles today but who's counting? I brought my pedometer along and wore it most of the time.

We saw D's workplace and met his co-workers. They were very nice and friendly. Then walked to the British Museum where we spent 4 hours looking around. It was great! The Dad's most exciting part was the prices on the food. Obviously he hasn't seen food courts many places lately. I loved the Egyptian area and also the African one. I think The Dad enjoyed the art work best. He always spent a long time looking at that though he wouldn't say what he liked best. We really had a wonderful time just being Bumpkins looking at things all around. I'm so impressed with London all around! Went back to D.'s work and had a hard time getting him. You see, everyone was gone from the reception area and the doors were locked (I think they always are). Once again, Dad to the rescue: he went next door and called. I think Mr. D. got a lot of work done while we were gone. We tried to go to another museum but it was closed for the evening dinner hour so we went back to the house.

Oh yes, I had one minor mishap when I walked in front of a motorcycle and just about got hit. Fortunately, the lady stopped for me. I felt badly-I just didn't look behind me on the proper side of the street. I was trying to keep up with a couple of guys who were talking and walking a bit faster than my fat little legs could keep up. That really was just an excuse though; I should have been more careful. I was after that!

Back home after working all day, the D.s fixed us a fantastic dinner after which we played a game until late. It was one of those strategy games where you build railroads all over the place and try to get there first or something like that. I don't really strategize that well: just put my cars where they look pretty. I didn't get horribly tired like yesterday and was able to stay up with the best of them.

Well, hooray! I got some pictures on! Now the next thing is to figure how to place them neatly. They won't move once I get them on. Oh well, I will learn. I promise I won't go Day-by-day and bore everyone (I think) but then, you don't have to read them if you are bored, do you?
