Wednesday AM.....August 18th...2010

Day 2 in Jillian's Great Victorian Adventure....Yesterday...

The kid is still with us after day 2.....that will relieve many minds...but we had moments of bad thoughts like making her work at the Empress dusting shelves for a year..or..or...

Linda got seasick when we hit a bad patch of water in the straits...but bounced back....a waste of money buying her a nice hot chocolate only to see it again a half hour later.

The Empress is very nice...they gave the "real" Buzzard...aka Jillian...a quiz for milk and cookies...so of course off we went to explore all the halls and rooms in the hotel....and then all employees denied having anything to do with the quiz when confronted...Jillian won..only missing one question....

We shopped a lot....same stores going out of business as last time we were here..same stuff on closeout...but it was fun...lots of stuff named "Jillian"..won't find that in the states...must be an English thing.....

Linda took a long nap...then off again....
.
Linda took another nap and Jillian bought some "stuff" she had spotted earlier in the day...

We went on a tour through the Parliment building......very interesting governmental structure...with England and all.....

Jillian wanted Italian for dinner so we found the Old Spagetti Factory......

Then all worn out, we retired for the night...

Today we go to the big museum...and catch the boat back to Seattle at 7 pm...we might bring the Buzzard back with us...Linda will take some chemo nausea meds prior to getting on the boat...all will be well...

I'm suspecting that The Buzzard is really seen as a very precious dove in the older buzzard's heart... :-D :-D ... and I'm getting such a kick out of the "exploits" of The Three Musketeers. Keep shopping, ladies -- you're stimulating the global economy.

Wrapping all THREE of you in the golden glow of healing love and peace.

I'm glad you are having fun. Dave, I seem to remember a certain guy named Dave who was quite seasick on a fishing trip. So, Linda you are not alone.
