London Photos Now On-Line!

I shot over 3,000 photos during our month long trip to Europe, but was only able to post a few to the blog and the on-line trip photo album while we were traveling. Once I've reviewed and edited all of the pictures, I'll pick some of the best and put them into a single album.

In the meantime, as I sort through all of these shots, I'll set up a separate on-line album for each of the nine places we visited. Our first (and last) stops were in London. You can click here to view the photos taken at that destination.

Back at The Ranch

(Thursday, Oct. 1, San Anselmo) An hour before we landed, High (as in high up in the sky) Tea (sandwiches without crusts, scones with clotted cream) was served aboard our flight. We grabbed our bags after landing, had 78 people look at our customs declaration (full employment, economic stimulus, why so many Indians and no Chiefs on this job?), had our shoes cleaned (exposure to sheep and cow poop at Reutte got us this "Mad Cow/Ovine" disease prevention service from our Federal Gov't), jumped on the Marin Airporter, got a ride home from Larkspur in Ellanor's Taxi, rescuing Scout, our cat, from Cat Jail on the way, and arrived home at 5 pm PDT (1 am, London time).

The Post Office delivered all of our held mail, 99% of it being catalogs, sales promotion flyers, bills, and assorted junk mail. We've unpacked and will soon dine on soup from Ellanor the Taxi Driver, then hit the sack. United Airlines delivered our bags, now it just has to fly in our brains from London so we can get our body clocks re-set to Pacific Time.

Touchdown!

Thirty Minutes To Go

(Thursday, Oct. 1)  We're over the Sacramento Valley, 5,520 miles behind us, 89 miles ahead of us, before our plane reaches San Francisco, so this will be my last inflight blog post.

Over Spudland

(Thursday, Oct. 1). We're now 660 miles and an hour and half from San Francisco flying over Idaho near Boise. After napping for an hour I turned on the video and found myself in the middle of "The Taking of Pelham 123" for the second time. I know how the movie ends, but not how it starts.

It's now 8:45 pm, London time, past noon PDT, and my stomach knows it. Where's that snack we were promised?
