And judging from the way I didn't understand the word snipe,

a simple mind as well. But thank you very

much for your kindness, Michael and Glo and

thank you for explaining the prank to me.

 

I now have completely revealed myself as the

new freshman from overseas that I am.

 

But I agree, it is a good metaphor.

 

Thanks, Glo, the trip went fine and was fun.

 

It was good to meet my sister and mother

again.

We had a lot of fun sightseeing and

doing really touristy things, taking one of these

guided bus tours through town and making

snapshots beneath the

Eros statue at Piccadilly circus .

There is always lots to see in London and

you could stay there for weeks browsing

shops and the countless museums there.

The town is really "user friendly" for visitors, since the underground train

system

allows everyone to get around easily and

cheaply.

 

My mom and sis must have bought half the

city (sale) and I was for once money

conscious and only bought 3 CDs and 3 books.

 

London was surprisingly chilly for the

season and I had completely overrated the

weather and only brought warm weather clothes.

By Monday I was completely knocked out

by a cold, could hardly lift a finger, let alone browse the city streets of

London, so my sis had to guide our mom thru Hyde Park and

down to the Knightsbridge shopping area that day.

 

The trip home was a loong one, as the

plane was delayed 3 hours, but the luggage

actually made it w/out any problems, so

the airline company should at least have that.

 

And I have to add my voice to the old

clichee, English food just isn't very good.

 

Good to see activity picked up on the list.

 

Love,

 

Amanda.
