Practically Perfect In Every Way
Kyla and I just returned from a trip to England (my first). It was so amazing. I met Kyla in London and we spent three days there. I dragged her to St Pauls and she dragged me to London Dungeon. We both were enthralled with the Tower Of London. On our last night we attended the new stage musical Mary Poppins. Such a bizarre mix of the Disney movie and new and jarring songs but memorable nonetheless. From London we toured the countryside for three days hitting Stonehenge and cathedrals and Bath. It was so incredible to see Jane Austen's Bath and of course the old Roman Baths. We also toured the Cotswolds and Oxford and ending in Cambridge, which was the whole reason (excuse) to go to England. We then spent three days in polo mania as there was a big tournament between Yale, Oxford and Cambridge. We ate in many pubs and drank gallons of tea. All in all it was great but next time I am going in warmer weather and hope to actually see the sun. I was so happy to get back to California sunshine!

Mom and Dad might appreciate that Dara tried to no avail to find a replacement tee shirt at St. Paul's for the one they gave her so many years ago. It said "If anyone calls, tell them I'm designing St. Paul's" and was signed, Sir Christopher Wren. I thought I'd look it up using Google. Pretty interesting. It seems the phrase comes from a clerihew, (who ever heard of such a thing?) the full text of which is "Sir Christopher Wren said 'I'll dine with some men. / If anyone calls, tell them I'm designing St Paul's."
