This is a boat in London. It was decorated with a weird pattern for reasons of art. Kerri took a picture, got it ready to upload and then left it sitting for months for reasons even harder to fathom. Perhaps a year abroad has made her an artiste.

Globe Theatre
We went to the reconstruction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
To see Measure for Measure, a play that we didn’t read in school.
We got standing room seats on the floor with the peasants.
At the front so we could lean on the stage.
The stage was very fancy.

Important People in London
The police closed most of the street so some important people could be pulled by Buckingham Palace.
In a carriage.
Because important people apparently can’t afford gas.

Thanksgiving Dinner
We just realized that the hostel we booked in London does not have a kitchen.
And London is way too expensive to eat out every night. (We already miss Africa).
So here is thanksgiving dinner.
Unbaked garlic bread
Sliced ham
Sliced cheddar cheese
Hummus and carrotsHappy Thanksgiving!

Sterkfontein Caves
We toured the Sterkfontein Caves where important australopithecine fossils were found.
They swung through the trees above and fell through holes like this and died.
There are still active excavations going on, but we weren’t allowed to visit those parts.
Which meant it was a tour of a fairly typical cave.
Dark and wet.
And difficult to get around.
There are also some open excavations at the surface.
