Then, at the suggestion of our waitress Agnes, we ordered a mixed plate that had steak, chicken, pork chops (called gammons), sausage, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, peas, and an egg. We also got the fish and chips, because you HAVE to try them if you are in England! DELICIOUS, all of it. Agnes was a very friendly and helpful waitress. Not only did she give us great suggestions on the food, she let the guys try both of the beers they were going to order to ensure they would like them. We talked a lot about the travel we were doing, and her aspirations to come to the U.S. in the futures. She also helped us get ready for our next day, which included a train ride on the Eurostar, and assisted us in understanding what steps we had to take to get to it, and navigate through with the least amount of effort. We felt much more confident after her help. THANKS AGNES!!
Back on the Underground to see if we could go to Buckingham Palace. When we arrived at the correct station, but after we saw that we could have to go THROUGH Hyde Park (which is like going through Central Park in New York at night) we decided, no way... So to the Underground again to go home for the night.
Even after we arrived at the hotel, just before midnight, my work was not done. I had to blog for the day. David decided to go to bed, so I joined Diane and Brian in their room. Had a glass of cheap chardonnay and set to work typing up our day. About 12:45 as the Internet slowed waaaaayyyyy down, I decided to call it quits. Nighty night and cherrio until tomorrow.
