Guess where we are now...
Since neither of us can read much while in vehicles, we've been listening to a podcast series broadcast by BBC 4. It's called "A History of the World in 100 Objects". The head of the British Museum has taken 100 objects from this museum and done an excellent series about the evolution of human history and society based around them. There are interviews with artists, cooks, historians and all sorts of people, and each segment is about 15 minutes long.
They are almost done the series, object #100 will be unveiled on October 22nd. There is a big mysterious box in the middle of the grand room of the library. We know this, because we were so inspired by this series (ok, we just really wanted to be in an English speaking country again, read an English newspaper, order food our food in English) that we are now in London again. And loving it! And will be here for a week.
Co-incedently so is the Pope, which scuppered our plans to go to evensong at Westminster Abbey tonight. We have been to a number of concerts in churches, the theater, and walked all over the city.
We'll be here until Tuesday, when we head to Paris and our very last week of the big, big trip.
