I have had my card refused because it didn't have a "signature." About SeeID: Good idea, but be careful; it can cause problems in countries where English isn’t commonly spoken.

It was rather shocking to see an Amtrak train with passengers coming through last night--kind of surreal. Elizabeth and I were in town at the laundrymat since we can't do laundry here do to our flooding. The Wisconsin Dells is area is totally flooded after the dam burst the day before yesterday, so I assume they are diverting Amtrak service through here to La Crosse. You should try to find some video of it (the Dells Dam bursting) if you can. Houses torn in two and then floating down the Wisconsin River. Horrible. Sadly, Amtrak now does run through PdC.

Hmmm. I'm probably too late if you've already gone to Bath today, but if I've caught you in time, you cannot possibly truly experience Bath unless you eat at Sally Lunn's (home of the Sally Lunn bun). Here's the website: http://www.sallylunns.co.uk/ Seriously, you won't find a better bun in England. Have fun! I’ve been hit on in Leicester Square as well–but it was by an old Italian guy. Hmmm.

Oh, and I ranted about your use of "ye olde" on my blog, if you're curious: http://anovelaffinity.com/2008/06/warning-rant-ahead.html Hope your next day of tourism goes more smoothly!

Anyway, I'm glad you got in with minimal difficulty. And an hour of sleep is more than I ever got on transcontinental flights, so you're not doing too bad! But the walking around random parts of London does kind of suck. Enjoy your nap, and keep posting. Oh, and in case you forgot to look up Ben's Cookies, here's the address in London: http://www.londononline.co.uk/profiles/19948/ – seriously, you have to try Ben's Cookies.
