Waterloo... to see the lion, I take it? I can't think from the top of my head of anything else interesting there to see.

Well, truth be told, I'm a bit of a Napoleonic wars/History junkie, and I'll probably be standing here telling my group how Cavalry Regiment so and so was placed in formation here...blah blah blah... I love battlefields. I've been to every single American Civil War one.

I've been to Lexington and Concord, so I guess I have a start on that. But it's rather hard to do from Europe.

I've been looking into schools for my PhD program, yes. I'm looking at Queen's University in Belfast, The London School of Economics, and Indiana University. I'll go to whichever one offers me the best funding package.
But for now, I'm off to bed - I'm utterly exhausted from a day of travel!

Meh...Cleaning the backyard and gardening were perhaps not the best of choices, but at least everything looks pretty.

No, I still look more or less like hell.
Hell with a backache. But the backyard and the front look absolutly spiffing, if I do say so myself.

Darn you all and your travel-ness!
I've never been outside the U.S., and in the U.S. I've only been to a few of the mainland states. I really want to travel when I get older.

Just had lunch after a lecture on EU bureaucracy and one on lobbying the EU...I suppose it'll get us all ready for our trip to Brussels on Thursday...
