WELCOME to London!!!





As you can see from these pictures we have been having very typical London weather!!! After touring around on the sight (can't see because of the rain) bus, we wandered to Sherlock Holmes' establishment on Baker Street. We had also wandered into a ticket agency to see about discount theatre tickets and the woman recommended a pub that would have some live music. We thought we'd give it a shot and once again the fates were on our side. It was Deaf Night at the pub. We met a large group and two were actually from the States. One girl moved here 2 years ago and the other is her friend who teaches at the St. Augustine School for the Deaf and Blind in Florida. Everyone was really great and even allowed us to videotape them. We have some great footage and anecdotes of them explaining their experiences at school. (of course the background music might need to be edited out). We never did find the live music which I guess was on the third floor that we never got to. Cindy's husband joined us the next day and what a trooper he was. Working on little to no sleep he was out with us for the night. He road around on the tour bus while we went and visited the school. More to come.....
