Jolly Old England

Hi Gang, its our third day here in England after arriving from France on Sunday. We are at a nice hotel on Hyde Park. Sorry no pics as our old hotel has no wifi. Old and charming but no wifi. One thing that is brilliant about England is the huge parks they have that take up about a third of the city. Plenty of room for people to run their dogs and just enjoy nature. Lots of rivers, bird life, rabbits, squirrels and lush vetetation. Then you pop out of the park and you are in a world class old city with all its charms. Great book stores, museums, archetecture, museums, pubs, restaurants etc. We just walkded for hours our first day in all the parks and charming city neighborhoods, then had beers and dinner with an old friend from grammar school that evening.
Did the British museum and many other classic sights yesterday and then saw a great show; Mary Poppins! Believe it or not it was fantastic! April and I both really enjoyed it. Tonight we are plannning to see the Producers and tomorrow the Rat Pack.
Very expensive here. Don't see how people can afford it. England, unlike the rest of Europe, is really booming.
The weather is cool, crisp and sunny. Sept is a great time to be here I think. Spring and Fall are always the best travel times.
We are now in the neighborhood of April's college; Goldsmith, that she will be attending this semester. Its in a neat little neighborhood just on the edge of London on the last metro stop.
Lots more to see and do here and I have only two days left! Will try to find a way to post some pics later. Hope you are all well. Cheers! Rob
