Bob is found!

It turned out that Bob, rather than being lost as some might suspect, was actually standing in line to go through customs (took 2.5 hrs.) Cyndy, who arrived two hours later, was through customs in 15 minutes. You tell me who lives right?

Today, in addition to eating VERY well, walking and enjoying a beautiful non-rainy day in London, we visited the Tate Modern. They had a great installation of a rusty VW camper (Tillie's cousin I'm sure) pulling 24 sleds filled with survival stuff. The caption was something like VW's (I hope Tillie isn't listening) aren't always the best survival vehicles. Also at the Tate - upper left... John as part of the "installation" or was he just feeling peckish as the sign suggests. (You should be able to pick him out of the crowd...)

A group photo left to right... cousin John (sorry I cut him off - the excitement of the moment), Pat, Judy, Tom & Liz (hosts extraordinaire), cousin Bob (he's hiding - probably doesn't want to be spotted by customs again), Cyndy and John in the red. Actually John's knees are probably already beginning to shake - no way did he want to contemplate going up in the London Eye in the background. Turns out none of us ended up doing that today anyway - our stomachs ruled instead and we had a great lunch on an upper deck overlooking the river instead.

Tonight it was on to the Globe Theatre for Shakespeare's "Troilus & Cressida". Wonderful, wonderful especially since we had great seats and didn't stand through the whole thing (it lasted 3+ hours) like the folks you see in the middle of the photo. I know standing in the middle was how it was done in Shakespeare's time and that it adds a LOT of atmosphere but, well, I'm a "modern" gal and much prefer to sit.

Back on the US front, I understand a red Corvette was spotted at the Maine/Canadian border....
