About an hour and a half South (by train) of London is the beautiful town of Bournemouth. Beautiful beaches and views as well as expensive real estate and lots of tourist attractions. We arrived about 1:00 PM, played a round of mini-golf, and, after some delicious (and greasy) fish and chips, we headed up the beach for a nice stroll. It was windy which made it feel cooler than you would like the beach to be. They have the cutest beach huts (6' X 8') that line the beach road - seems like hundreds of them. I guess you can rent them for the day or the summer. Interesting. The water really doesn't get very warm, so I guess they just hang out at the hut and watch and listen to the surf.It was a great day. We went with Tim and Karlyn Wedler - a young Canadian couple (Emily and JJ's age) that lives here at the LMC. They have jobs in London and are taking every opportunity to visit as many European destinations as possible. What a life! We had a great time with them.

Well, uh, I do like to sit and watch the waves on the beach but, well, after an hour or two of that, aren't there any bikini gals? Are they hiding in the huts?

Spike,
Now I know why Gloria brings you to Colorado in the summertime! I'm sure Ed isn't looking for the topless beaches either!

Thanks a lot, Spike, I just choked on my popcorn.
