... br>Ready for lunch after our trip through the sky we decided to head to the Notting Hill district, not just because of the movie but because of the Portobello Road Market.

A few months back now, i had a 10 day gap in my roster, and a crazy thought came over me to go see some of Northern Africa. After quickly eliminating most countries, i settled on Morocco. Not quite true Africa, but something totally different to anything i'd have seen. A long story short - funds stopped me from getting past the ...

... br>From Tower Hill we took a cruise along the Thames to Westminster.  Along the way we managed to pass Big Ben as it was striking 12 noon.  That was really neat.  We also went by the London Eye which is a giant ferris wheel right on the Thames.   

At Westminster we walked over to Westminster Abbey, then walked on to Buckingham Palace with a stop for lunch at a pub along the way.  After spending some time at Buckingham Palace - again, lucky since ...

... of the swat team and about 100 police offices. After about 6 police wagons filled with protesters, bloody heads all over the place, 3 cops I saw get belted in the head with sticks they finally got it under control. I think I took more pictures of that then Westminster Abby, Go figure. After that I headed back to the hostel and now here with you. Next is to plan how the hell I'm going to get over to Dubin on Wednesday and make sure I have a place to sleep. Thats it.

... hoping they aren't all as busy! But we managed to grab some grub and headed home to get unpacked. Today Kris is off interviewing and I have opted to stay home and get some rest and get us a little more organized with our limited space. We should have our mobile phones up and running by the end of the week - so we will forward that info as soon as possible.

... way as us) and how to flush a toilet. I know that sounds odd but they all have these odd handles that you turn and neither Sonia and I have figured out how to use them yet. Trust me we have asked how they work but they r more difficult than they look! Well guys that brings me to the end of this entry but I just thought I would share some good news with you.
