I don't think that I remember how to do this anymore. However, I will give it a shot and see how it turns out.
Ernest Hemingway once said to Francis Scott Key, "I write one good page of writing to every ninety nine pages of shit, I try to leave the shit in the trash can." A very colorful, yet true statement. I will try to do the same, but on a much smaller scale and will probably bore you with my constipated thinking. (If you catch my drift) At least Hemingway could produce some sort of S!@#... well I think you get it, I'm no Hemingway!
Dad and I had the chance to visit London a while back and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Of course it has been twelve years and I am just now blogging about it. I think procrastination is a genetic thing, somewhere on the forty-seventh chromosome accompanying the Down Syndrome gene. My procrastination has propagated into an outright apathy and for that I apologize.
It was a welcomed change of pace to be in London with "proper" English speakers. Also, it was nice to see Dad; the first familiar face I have seen in nearly 8 months. We had a chance to get out and see a lot of interesting architecture, artifacts, and adult video stores (certified of course). No, we didn't go into any adult video stores, but we did see a number of them and I would only trust the certified ones. Just a word of advice for anyone thinking about traveling to London.
We started off our self-guided tour of London at the Tower of London. Here we learned all about the history of the Tower from a boisterous, portly Yeoman Warder, also known as a Beefeater. In order to become a Yeoman Warder you have to serve in the Royal Army forever ( approximately 26 years or so).
We also had the chance to see the British version of Chicago; almost exactly the same.
But, the most exciting event was going to the National Gallery to see a number Van Gogh's paintings. (Van Gogh happens to be my favorite painter, and in January I am taking a Field Study class in Amsterdam purely dedicated to him).
I am out of time for now to write. Plus, I am having trouble uploading pictures. I will BLOG more later and upload my pictures.
