Today I went to the Science Museum. There were a few good exhibits about math, electricity and computers, but I’ll spare most of the details. The most interesting was about James Watt. If you’re not an engineer or British, you may not know ... Read more >

I ended up at a pub crawl last night with friend from the hostel, Philippe. It was rainy and a holiday, so it sounded like something good to do. However, nobody else in all of London had that train of thought.  We were the only two people on this ... Read more >

As we were leaving Edinburgh, the GPS that came n the rental car kept sending us on crazy routes, like down High Street, or in a lane for buses only. We ended up ignoring her and just heading west out of Edinburgh. Once we'd managed to get on a road ... Read more >

While we were in the area, my sister was interested in the World Pipe Band Championships. She plays bagpipes, and had also gotten a fair number of reactions of “What's in Scotland?” Attempts to explain the Fringe Festival usually fell ... Read more >

By Friday my sister and I were pretty much out of things we wanted to see at the Half-Price Hut, but my mother wasn't. She volunteered to stand in line and pick up some of her tickets, so if there was anything we wanted to see, we should mention it to ... Read more >

"London smells like history." That's what I catch myself saying over and over again as  I ride along the river Thames on a bike. I am aware more than ever that history is greeting me with every corner turned and every street passed. Our biking ... Read more >
