Or whatever my bro said in his post.
Actually they are pretty nice, but I feel like I have a sign on me everywhere that says 'I am an idiot American.' I have to admit, I can't always rule out the idiocy, and I can't ever rule out the American.
Today I went to Hampton Court Palace and it was so great I am planning to go there again tomorrow after church. They did an all day Tudor Coking demonstration where they did it in authentic costume and with authentic tools and everything and then eventually sat down to a meal like they would eat everything. Very awesome.
In the UK is wak section, the big news story today was that a mother donated her kidney to her daughter to save her and the NHCS decided the kidney would have to go to some other person, not her daughter. Isn't that like kidney harvesting, using live kidneys from healty people without their consent? Very scary. I would accept a lot of problems with the health care system to avoid the scariness factor that that has for me.
Oh, and I am staying in a HOSTEL! Like dorm style. I am quoting the info I got on check in 'If there is someone in YOUR BED, please notify reception.' I actually don't mind it. I did a few hotels to break me into things and I imagine I will do amix of this and bnb's because the dollar is so bad, everything is painfully dear. I actually like a lot of things about the hostels. I just had a two hour conversation with some guy who thought he believed all kinds of things. Showed him. Just kidding, but a good anonymous conversation is very liberating, you don't have to worry about running into them later.

Are you going to Kennsington palace again?
That was one of my favorite stops on our trip.
I had the same sign on my back when we were there a couple of years ago. I had a bright red and blue windbreaker on the whole time, and I noticed about mid way through that NOBODY in the city was wearing bright colors. We were there in winter and everything was muted, black mostly. So, here was this american with a bright red and blue jacket on . . . it got many long looks i think.
Sounds like so much fun..I am very jealous. Speaking of Anne Boleyn..I saw a preview for the new period film, "The Other Boleyn Girl" and thought of you. I don't know if it will be any good, seeing as it has both Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johansen - both possibly the worst actresses of all time, but it may be worth watching.
I actually wrote a review of that movie on Helium. I said that basically it was a two hour study of S.J's pouting lips and cleavage. Natalie Portman's cleavage was MIA.
And the writing was basically like taking a Harlequin romance novel, crossing out "Violet" and "Alfredo" and susbituting "Anne" and "His Majesty."
That is terrible about the kidney. Talk about socialism, combined with the lack of free speech. Sounds like you are having tons of fun though. The Other Boleyn girl is supposed to be terrible by the way.
