We left Cambridge and met Andrea, Matt (had a residency in Dublin) and Andrea’s friend Sammantha at Leicester Square…..for Mark and me…it was our last night in London….we had an early flight…we didn’t finish packing….but somehow - it seemed right to do dinner, swings and pix with the gang - one last time.
We flew back […]
only a few hours before we had to the tube to catch a train to Heathrow….so much to say….so much to show….and no more time….I’ll do my best….last blog from our flat…..we loved our flat so much….so damn easy to get around and quite cozy.
We decided to visit Cambridge on our last day in England. […]
On Thursday - I went down to Leicester Square and found a cute little Christmas Carnival going on…I think this chap is supposed to be Charlie Chaplin….
The grey statue is real. As in…a real human being….
Leicester Square has a mess load of half-price ticket counters - so I picked up a cheap pair (22.50/each) […]
On Terri and Eileen’s last night in London - we headed over to the Texas Embassy to celebrate Terri’s b-day.
On our way to the Texas Embassy - we passed some Xmas Carolers at Picadilly Circus.
Dinner at the Texas Embassy was good and filling. London had a real Texas Embasy - back in the day….when Texas […]
Lot’s of Xmas trees in central London - this one’s at Covent Gardens
Covent Garden is always crowded on Saturdays - but this place is cool to check out - even when we’re not really shopping…more like browsing…
Oh yeah, but we could always drop a few pounds on mulled wine. Yum.
We found this tree at Trafalgar […]
The Roman Baths at night are incredible….beautiful - hot - humid - and a touch mystical….but that could be the steam fogging up my contacts…
Yeah…the Roman did the whole taking-over England thing….back in the day….they introduced the public baths to the Brits and a new way to indulge in religion.
We got to Bath in the […]
With only few hours to before our flight - we grabbed another bite to eat in the Temple Bar area.

More Old Stuff in Dublin
We had one more day in Dublin - and we did our best to pack-in as much sight-seeing as possible. So - we hit-up sights like Dublin Castle (above)….and Temple Bar.
In the morning - we needed to catch a bus back to the airport - drop our bags off in Mick’s […]
After Swords - we dropped my bear back at the hotel room….and headed out to Dublin City Centre……it took a damn long time to get there. Apparently, everyone drives in this country. The day before - it took three hours to travel 14 miles - on one extremely crowded highway.
So - despite the nice bus […]
We stayed at a Travelodge in Swords….real close to the airport and north of the Dublin Town Center.
It sounded like all the action was going down in Dublin….but Mark and I were stuck in Swords - waiting for his conference call from work.
When I went scavenging for stamps - the reception desk pointed us in […]
