cheerio from jolly old england!! here i am in my hotel lobby using the 'net. london has been beautiful... the sun has been out and the breeze a'blowin' -- quite nice weather. we have done a TON of walking yesterday and today... tomorrow we're leaving for a trip to dover, canterbury and leeds castle. then we catch a night train to scotland for two days... back to london then off to paris. phew! hope the weather continues to be this nice for the rest of the trip.

must go -- i've bought 10 minutes and i can see the little bar dwindling down... pressure!! hope the usa is doing fine -- i haven't seen the news since i got here.
