Back to Paris

Managed to get attacked last night by a West African taxi driver, in Paris. He blooded my hand quite well. The French police are buying the version it was an "accident" and will not pursue. I notified the Embassy because I feel responsible to prevent him doing this again; he ran away. I must now get an arm full of shots and worry about HIV contamination. Not a great night.

and we are off again

A future Oxford scholar getting the right attitude.

Oxford was lovely, more later. We toured the library and I was shocked by the changes - they have plugs, computers, and are switching to the DDS! Shocking!

To London this morning, a bit of shopping and tea at Harrod's; then back to Paris on the Chunnel.

Ciao

Boom!

All over England apparently....

and continuing our tour of the Continent and Britain...

We are at the Old Parsonage Hotel in Oxford and it is so brilliant! Tiny, tiny, hotel with a great bar, ok the Macallan's is only 10-years-0ld but THEY HAVE IT. Rolled in off the train around noon, after big hugs with Billy the owner of the B&B in Bath, with whom we are now life long friends. Had a lovely lunch downstairs while they were readying the room; upstairs for a cuppa in a small (it is after all England) but very well appointed room with included WIFI so you know we are happy.

STAY TUNED!

I was in Texas, then I was in Paris (thank the Gods), then I was in Britain (thank you Kali) - first to London, then Bath (oh the food, the whiskey, the people, the tales), and tomorrow - Oxford! Too busy at present to write about adventures as I am having them - but stay tuned!

Ciao!
