Would you kill me if I migrated my blog domain again…?

Favorite Pictures from England
I’ve compiled some of my favorite pictures from my trip to England.
The Tower Bridge (look familiar?)
Bill, my and Alba’s host in Cambridge, who indulged me an an hour-long conversation about my favorite British TV shows
A much deserved beer at the end of a long day of biking around Cambridge
How much I adore a decent half-pint!
My tower of coasters
Self-portrait at Picadilly Circus
Getting attacked by a street performer
Lovely shadowplay on the Houses of Parliament (courtesy of Alba)
Self-portrait in front of the Tower Bridge
An alley cat I made nice with in a pub in Harrow
See the guy in the back, on the right? Later that day, he gave me his match ticket from the match that had played that day in Wembley Stadium – what a lovely souvenier!
The only rain I saw during my whole trip was as I was about to board the plane home 🙂

New Glasses
I got my new glasses while I was in Austin. Yay!!!
I really like them. They fit great (once I got the stems adjusted) and look nice, I think.
You might notice designs in the top and bottom corners of my glasses. They’re “tattoos” and I quite like them. They don’t get in the way of my vision at all.
 
Yay for being able to see!
Harry Potter Sightings in England
It took some time, but I have finally compiled my post about Harry Potter in England. And let me tell you, fellow muggles, it’s true! Below you will see proof that J. K. Rowling is writing about what really goes on in England. I think all that talk of “fiction” is just a cover story so us muggles won’t know what is going on.
We passed a witch and wizard while touring one of the colleges in Cambridge.
And here, someone left their FireBolt just laying about. It probably has some spell on it to keep us from seeing the brand name and stirrups.
And I think this must be Hogwarts.
The difficult-to-spot Platform 9 and 3/4 must have been malfunctioning because all of these tourists had crowded around it.
We also found the British version of the book for sale, everywhere we went.
And I couldn’t help myself but I bought a whole sheet of First Class stamps, featuring the British book covers.
