3rd for Puerto Rico! We have sadly only spent 2 days in San Juan but plan to go back for a week.

Well, I should have expected that after the Tower of London I might be too tired to do anything else. It would have been a good idea to do the red bus tour after that, when I just couldn’t walk any more; the bus tour (which we took on a totally different day) was really wonderful.

We skipped Stonehenge in favor of Avebury and loved the weird idea of a stone age site with a village plunked in the middle. Lovely.

Oh dear. That sounds exhausting. I did manage to fall on my knee at the very beginning of the trip myself. and my limping did not really enhance the experience. There sure are a lot of stairs in London!

Oh, yeah, I feel you there. There are a LOT of tourists in Prague. I also had that “surrounded” feeling in Egypt — at some of the historical sites you could hear seven languages other than Arabic. You were really in a herd of gawkers and without a local friend, that’s pretty much what you would end up with.

Hmm, that’s interesting. I loved Prague, even just the walking around and pointing at things on menus that we couldn’t decipher. I’m trying to think what a non-touristy thing to do is... hang out in locals spots? Every place I drank beer had locals in it. There’s lots of theater there besides what they push at…

I very much regret my approach to the city of London.

Sure, Milwaukee’s the problem. You know... Milwaukee... where Scott Walker used to be County Executive...

Yes. Such a REFRESHING feeling!

How do you KNOW you were born? Were you even there? Oh wait...

On the other hand, I still adore the five year old girl who corrected her dad after he said, “See, honey, look at the lion!” “Daaad. That’s a TIGER.” She was, of course, correct.

Well, if you BELIEVE in years!

Maybe it’s an Autocorrect Fail, but I LOVE “endangerment rings”.

“Dad, can I go to Jimmy’s house?”

Yeah! There Will Be Blood. So what?

STARBUCKS POST! STARBUCKS POST! STARBUCKS POST!

you’ve got a point there

Oh, and ANOTHER thing: “cute shoes.” If the shoes are “cute”, I can’t wear them. They will hurt me. You go wear all the cute shoes you want.

Staying up until 1 am to make sure a software deployment went okay. Go hire somebody young for that.

Even MORE insane: KRTK tv station says they charged her for possession of “.02 ounces of marijuana.” I mean... WHAT?
