Vacation in Britain

[Drac]

I wonder what that is all about? In Britain we tend to work to live, but in America you seem to live to work. Then, because you have so little off-time to devote to a holiday you rush madly from pillar to post.

It is a failing of ours. Not quite as bad in Amy and me. We don't have kids so, unlike many of my co-workers, we don't rush much after work. Both of our jobs allow for leaving it at the office when the 5 o'clock whistle goes. We don't take vacations to relax, we don't have high stress lives. We take vacations to learn and see.

What makes us seem a bit rush-rush is that we aren't the tour the country side sort of people. We are city folk. Our idea of roughing it is a hotel with no Wi-Fi. Shopping is a recreational sport for us normally and combat training on sale days. So our intrests look like people trying to squeeze something into every moment but we take it slowly so that we can enjoy what we do. We don't expect to do it all in one trip. WE WILL BE BACK!!

Elizabeth I was inprisoned there, her mother was inprisoned and excuted there, Lady Jane Grey was inprisoned and executed there. The Tower isn't a good place to see it is required for Amy

Outside of the two places for me above I am looking forward to going through the markets and food stores at a leasurely pace. Food shopping and eating is one of my biggest passions.
