I’m writing this on Sunday in hopes that we’ll find an internet hotspot during the day from which to post. Okay”¦to bring you up to speed on the story in progress”¦ Friday was our last day to spend in London. We spent the morning touring the Tower of London. Leigh and I both really enjoyed […]

First let me say that Venice is absolutely beautiful…but: 1)They have no internet here. We are in a bookstore where we have paid three euro to use the net for half an hour. And this damn keyboard is configured all funny so I make a mistake every time I reach for the shift key or […]

Today at 6:45 Leigh and I fly out of Houston International airport headed towards London, England.

While I still plan on writing the usual blog nonsense, I’m also going to use […]
