Holding Up Just Fine

My knee, that is. Walked over six miles (10 kilometers) yesterday. Only challenge is going down steep stairs without a handrail because of my more limited range of motion. Later today we take the train to Leicester. That will require stairs with luggage. Not looking forward to that part. Everything else is great!

Museum Fun at the Victoria & Albert

First, we saw Undressed: A BRIEF History of Underwear. (Clever title.) Then we saw the blockbuster, Botticelli Re-Imagined. (As necessary, Google Botticelli Venus to appreciate the "shellfie".) Also had a wonderful lunch in a most glamorous cafe.

Best Travel Accessory Ever

Indian Dinner

Returned to my favorite place. Love the atmosphere and the food. (I had the best okra, although we were too busy eating to take those pix). Great evening, despite the jetlag.

Deja Vu Again

Somehow we walked right by this guy before it hit us. (Blame the jetlag.) Then, "Hey, get back here!" (We shouldn't have been too surprised as we were right by the FSU Study Center.)

Which?!...

"This is not drinking water." Does that mean the water in the bottle or the water coming out of the taps? Don't want to risk getting it wrong, but I'm too jetlagged to figure it out.

Off to a Surprising Start!

We no more than arrived, and I saw a familiar face! James, a British colleague I met a few years ago at Art Taipei, was standing in front of the British Museum eating ice cream. We chatted for a bit before Ann and I ducked into a charming little cafe across the street for a very typical lunch (mushroom pie and bangers and mash). Jetlag has hit this afternoon.
