Tales From Overseas


Well, I’ve got a little break from work, so I’m writing up a quick journal entry. I arrived safely, and spent a day touring London, exhausted. I couldn’t sleep in the back of the plane amongst the common people, so I watched Lord of the Rings, and ate my TV dinner (“What? No salmon and cucumber appetizers?!?”)

London was very cool. After renting our ugly French Renault, We parked almost underneath parliament, so we were within walking distance of Westminster, Buckingham palace, and Piccadilly (sp?) circus, all of which we visited. We hopped on the subway and spent too much money to get us out to the Tower Bridge, and saw the building where Sir Walter Raleigh spent something like 12 years.

Finally, we hopped in the car and headed towards Cambridgeshire, and a little town called Molesworth. This town is home to a pretty little inn called the Cross Keys. It’s a beautiful, almost stereotypical English pub surrounded by some amazing countryside.

Getting ready to leave… I’ll write more later, as I get a chance. I’ll definitely have an Internet connection at the hotel in Tokyo, so the updates will be more frequent there. I miss everyone at home, and I’ll see you in a few days.
