We watched the local fauna with their ridiculously skinny legs. What is it about London ladies that allows them to uniformly have such skinny walkers? The prancing entertained us for a while at Covent Garden while we ate our Cornish pasties, the real reason for our stop. If you've never had a Cornish pastie, well let's say you've been missing a culinary delight.
We took the next train to Cambridge and go there about 7 at night. We met up with Emeric, my French friend, his lovely girlfriend Emilie, and Emeric's American Aunt, Jane. Rana and I were beat so we headed to bed a few hours later.
The next few days we explored Cambridge together. We go to see the lab where Emilie is doing her post doc reseach. Freaking sweet, except her research is all done with fruit flies so you can imagine there was an unsettling creeping feeling as you left the lab. "Did I bring any with me? Ahh they're in my shirt," but they weren't.
We went to the Cambridge Film festival and saw a movie about a zombie infestation caused B by infected words. Apparently it postulated that the English language itself was infected... preposterous...brains...need brains. Sorry lost track. The only way to fight it was to speak French. I had now divined why our friends had selected this movie...
On the final day I said goodbye to Rana as she headed for Istanbul and I headed for Australia. I was indeed sad as I would not see her again for at least a month. I had a later flight so I stuck around and Emeric Emilie and I headed over to the famous "Chariots of Fire" Race. They played the music and everything. Wow, and with that England became a thing of the past for me as I headed to the land of Roos and cuddly Koalas.
(Pictures coming. I have had some slight computer problems since I arrived.)
Devo out
