Traveling words to live by: Don't get uber trendy haircut with crazy bangs hours before leaving on long trip sans proper hair tools.
Margauex (European-Chic version on Margaret) and I arrived in London yesterday afternoon. Obviously we left Chicago in a blizzard (what other whether is there in the Midwest this time of year). The usual jet lag ensued so the first afternoon and evening were a bit shorter than expected.
Today, after sleeping in until 11am (Hell must have froze over) we awoke and navigated our way to the British Museum and the National Gallery. Essentially I saw in person about two years worth of art history classes in one day...I'm not sure how to mentally digest this. Mostly I just think, how the hell did the British acquire all these pieces of art??
Tomorrow Margauex promises we will be getting up much earlier. I suspect she is going to try and make me work out in the closet sized cardio room in the hotel. Then we will be off to the royal palaces and Westminster Abbey.
