We didn't walk until we dropped today.

Today Lynda and I decided that we needed to "try" and save our aching feet. We jumped on the tube and took it to Kew - a very upscale suburb on the outskirts of London. This is also the site of the Royal Botanical Gardens. The Gardens are the site of a Chihuly art glass exhibit. Since we had seen his work in Colorado Springs, seeing his work again was a must. His works were in three massive buildings, set among the vegetation of various climate zones. There was also an exhibit floating in a large pond. This park covers over 350 acres. We decided that we did not need to cover each area on foot. They had a tram that circled the park and allowed you to get off a various stops and get back on when the tram returned to the area. Our feet said thanks.

After or visit to Kew we decided to take the return train to the tube stop for Harrods. Lynda had forgotten some thin socks for her flats. Well, she felt that $16.00 for a pair of socks was slightly out of the question. We did though enjoy seeing the variety of items in the food court. Harrods knows how make all other prices in London seem cheap.

Tonight we went to the theater and saw a new Andrew Lloyd Weber musical - Woman in White. The musical and staging we amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Cheers T&T
