Someday, Ted and I will learn that the evening trains from Cork to Cobh run at 6:30, and then at 8, rather than at 6:30, 7, and 8:30 as we persist in believing. Every time, we say, “Well, next time we’ll know,” and we never, ever know.

We walked all over hell and breakfast, saw Tim Curry on the West End in Monty Python’s Spamalot (we had no idea he was in it until we got there and I bought a program), or at least, we saw the top of Tim Curry’s head, because we were in the nosebleeds, visited the Tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels, which are very, very sparkly, and I took a lot of spectacularly not-good pictures (I really needed a tripod, not to…
