The above Boxx shows the Madona feeding the Baby Jesus with a bottle - this is from the Victorian influence. I bet there are times she would have liked the convenience.<br />

While at York Minster Kathy had a mishap and fell down a step and twisted her ankle. She has some torn ligaments and Ken, Kathy, Will and I spent part of the afternoon in the ER. - Nothing like a new experience!<br />

Bob, our coach driver (we were informed he doesn't drive a bus) swung into the ER and picked K&K up and took them to the hotel.

technology and demonstrations of old time traditions.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span><br />

shopping in York. Joe, our guide, and I went to Starbucks and tried to figure a way to get Julie's piece of luggage from Stratford on Avon to our hotel in Herrogate. After many phone calls to the hotels, carrier services including Fed Ex (who won't even talk to you if you don't have and account in the UK) and car rental companies, we finally decided to have it brought by cab to the tune if 240 pounds. Boy, is the insurance company going to like this group. So far we will have 3 claims. NO MORE CATASTROPHES!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> In the afternoon we had a guided tour
of the Royal Shakespeare Company theatre.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> We got to see what all is involved behind the scenes when they put on a production. Very impressive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> We then tr</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">aveled to Lutterworth where we visited St. Mary’s Church and the John
Wycliffe Memorial.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> When we arrived we found out that they had not been notified we were coming and had to punt for someone to give us info on the place. Fortunately, the Treasurer was there and gave us a little info on the history of the church. I could add a few comments on the subject and we seemed to get along ok with this stop. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I think my eternal alarm is finally starting to work although it is a bit off - woke up at 7:45 and had to be downstairs to leave by 8:30. So much for organization - I told Will to start throwing everything into the suitcases, ran downstairs and grabbed something to eat and we were on our way by 8:30 AM.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Or first stop was at Buckingham Palace - we missed the changing of the guards but had nice weather to take photos.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While at the museum we had the opportunity to see the Rosetta Stone and some artifacts from Egypt, Assyria & Greece. We definitely could have used more time, but they say it would take going every day for a year to see it all. They have moved the Magna Carta to the National Libfrary, so there were a few things we wanted to see that have been moved.</span></div>

We left the Tower around 5:00 and then dropped a group off at St Paul's for evening services, The rest of us came back and 4 of the group decided to go to a local pub for dinner so they could watch the Bronco game. Talk about die hards! We moved dinner back to 8:00 PM so the group can get back in time to eat. I will definitely be ready for bad after that.<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We arrived in London this morning, at 8:15 am, met up with our guide after going through customs and enjoyed a drive into the city and to our hotel The Thistle Bloomsberry. The rooms are a little on the small size, but that's not unusual for London.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> We got to the hotel around 11:00 am and we couldn't check in until 2:00 pm so we decided to go get something to eat. We were told there was a pub a few blocks away, but when we started out it started to rain pretty good. We decided the French restaurant across the street was looking pretty good.<br />

We managed to kill a few hours there and then headed back to the hotel. <br />

<br />
It's a good thing we did since a couple of teens were having a hard time staying awake.<br />

We all showed up at the airport on time which was wonderful since they ended up closing I70. I was just a little concerned until I counted heads and found them all to be here. We took off @ 1:15 pm and made it to Chicago in time to catch our plane to London. We had 1hr 15 min which was plenty of time. Off we go on another adventure.<br />
