What I did on Saturday, May 23, 2009: The first thing I did was head off to Portobello Road market. I have known about this market for a good while now, since I started doing research on visiting London. It takes place on weekends, maybe even mainly Saturday actually. I knew I wanted to go there, and it wasn’t too far from the hostel either. It was a long road that was lined with tables and tent... Read Full Entry

ouch

how Marie Antoinette died

what Marie looked like after dying

Madame Tussaud was a real person who went to people after they died and took a mold of their faces.

Elvis and I

me with Marilyn Monroe

Bet you didn't know I was present during this very famous shot!

Princess Diana and I

I was standing all funny.

She looked so sad.

These people didn't take the best pictures...

Royal Bayswater Hostel

my first London hostel

the steps leading to the lobby

I didn't realize just how dirty these stairs looked. They actually redid the carpet a few days after I took this.

I would walk out these doors to go outside.

The computers are to the right.

Hi, Courtney! It's been so nice skyping together! (is that what you'd call it?) You mentioned in your last email (dated 6/14) that I should look at your other pictures. I don't see any other ones besides the ones included with your 8th (overall) post/blog. The last photo I saw has the dog on it (needing to be on a lead). I wonder why they don't say leash? Love, Mom

Oops!
No, I'm sorry, the last photo I saw on your blog about your day on May 23rd is the one that shows the doors you used to go outside. (The dogs needing to be on leads was on the first page of photos for that day.) But I don't see the photos of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. Love you, Mom

old, fancy curtains
Court, don't know if you'll see my comment at this late date. Well, just thought I'd mention that I remember seeing those old, fancy curtains/draperies in theaters draped across the front. Does that date me too much? hehe Love, Mom (hope you keep adding new posts!)
