Post for 7/19/06

So, when did it start getting so obscenely hot in England? Or is this just in honor of my visit? Lucky me. Mere and I spent most of today brain-storming places that would be air-conditioned. We couldn't come up with anything. We're thinking of leaving notes in places we visit saying "tip from the tourists: get some air-conditioning". Finally around 7pm we dragged ourselves over to Parliament and sat in on the House of Lords. Not as entertaining this time, but I think Meredith was excited to be there. After that, we had dinner at this cute place called Cucino's, and walked along the bank. It is SO much nicer without that nasty sun out! Here's a pic of us at Parliament (note the "no photography" sign above my head).
