Quick Update

You'll be pleased to hear that my luggage arrived safely, but not quite so pleased as I was!

Up early this morning, about four thirty, took my camera and tripod for a walk up the Thames and back down again, stopping upon Westminster Bridge just after dawn. Not as fair as I'd imagined, but not too dusty.

Now back in my hostel, had breakfast, listening to the BookCrossing update on BBC Coventry.

Off to walk around town in a moment.

Don't forget to say hi from me to all the BCUKers!

It feels like only yesterday since I was walking those same boards. Wait, it was only Sunday!

Hehe!
I wish I could be there. Replying to Pete's earlier post made me long for London even more than usually.

And: I don't know why it is so but ever since I know you and Liz I'd love to visit Ireland and especially Dublin. Just to meet the two of you. I always wanted to visit one day but now I positively crave for it. It's all *your* fault!

I was wishing you were all here with me. I could guide you through the wonders of London's transport system. You always wanted to see Balham and Putney?

hey, I know the wonders of the TFL!
No need to show me. ;-P

I could get you to Welshpool on the Tube, I'll bet!

Missing you, Elhamisabel. Every time I see a Jane Austen book, I think of you!

Oh, thank you! And I'd love to spend a day in your company. You knowwhat? In 2008, when you come over forthe Convention in Lonon, we'll have a day out in L., OK?
Or even better, I'll tr< to make it to the UK a day before the UnCon 2007 and we roam London together. Good planm or what?

I am putty in your hands!

It's a date.

I sat in Trafalgar Square for about an hour taking photographs of the people. And doing that rabbit ears thing behind photographers to get their subjects to smile.

I've been enjoying your pictures on Flickr, Pete. I wish I could be there, too!

Glad the luggage arrived safely!

There's a slight chance I may be back in NY on Monday/early Tuesday but I won't know 'til Monday. My cell phone number is here, but not sure you'll have a way to reach me. If I get online this weekend and know one way or the other I'll leave you a comment.

Happy travels!
