Quicky

Sorry, no fancy pictures like Hers. We didn't plan to post like did last time, so there's no pictures ready to go and I only have 10 minutes left at the Internet Cafe.

Hers and I are still having a great time. We've worn ourselves out a bit and have actually spent a lot of time just sitting in a park and reading (both reading books centered on London). We did go to part of the British Museum today, which was amazing. The British Empire extended so far that you can find artifcats from all over the world. I thought the Egyptian artificats would be amazing, but it turns out I was most taken with the collection in the Enlightment exhibit. The books they had on display there were incredible to say nothing of the artificats. Being in that room was one of the most amazing experiences I've had so far.

Yesterday's highlight was Windsor. There's just something about old castles that are impressive. And yes, the Queen was in residence (as is her habit on the weekends) while we were there (you can tell by the Royal Standard flying about the Round Tower). We walked through the State Apartments, which were absolutely incredible. Kings since Charles I (17th Centrury) had used the castle as a residence as does the current Queen. The State Apartments are where important visitors are received and state dinners are held.

The town itself was also fun. A little too touristy, but it was a fun walk. We ended the night by watching Othello at the Globe. It was incredible to see like Shaekspear at the Globe, even if we did get the cheap tickets that required us to stand for four hours. I was also disappointed that the only beer they had was Bud. After some of the fine English Ales we've been sampling, it was a real disappointment. Still, how can you not have a Beer standing at the floor of the Globe?

We have plenty of pictures and we'll probably post them once we're in Africa. We leave tomorrow evening and should be in Wednesday morning (late, late Tuesday night for those of you in the States).
