United Kingdom - Thursday - Day Four

September 6, 2012

Today was a teaching day for Larry.  There was some drama involved.  We got started 1/2 hour late becausee two of my student had an incident on the M4 (a highway like an interstate).  They came into brief contact with a coach (bus) and had to stop to exchange information.  Very minor damage and no injuries.  However, we are a little behind in the class.

Margaret spent the day exploring shops and making more reservations.  She had a nice conversation with a mother and daughter from Epps who are taking a little holiday together.  It reminded us of Melanie and Mom.  This is the lobby of the motel where they sat and talked for about an hour.


Tonight for dinner to The Swan Inn.  We wanted to go since we first saw it.  It looked like a fun English inn and it met its expectations.  The food was excellent. the Atmosphere was excellent. 

This is a quote that was on the wall.
Now we are settling down for the evening - and packing up.  We leave this hotel tomorrow morning.  Tomorrow night we will spend in London and then do tours for the next days.  We will be taking the train into London - because Larry doesn't want to drive there and becasue there is a 22 pound "congestion tax" to drive into the inner city.  Besides that, everyone says that it is a nightmare to drive in London - so we will take the train and then let a tour guide do the driving.

Warning!!


We may not take my laptop to London - in which case there will be no blog updates until - Tuesday.
Just be patient and realize we are having fun.

I agree with Erica...infact, for all I know Mom could be in Jersey right now! I did see a picture of Dad and a donkey but...maybe it's a Jersey donkey. Proof people!! Also, thank goodness you aren't driving this weekend. My hands were getting sore just reading about all the white knuckles!!
