I'm to the point in my trip when my feet have started to hurt and I'm running out of clean clothes. London requires a great deal of walking, even though I love riding the Underground.

Today was a half day of South Kensington, Knightsbridge, and Oxford Street. A bit of shopping, but not much. I'll be hard pressed to get all this stuff home. I resisted my usual urge to buy clothes at the Gap, which I inevitably seem to do when travelling. (Although they had some great knits that we don't get at home. And a cute salesman with sparkly blue eyes.)

But overall it's been fun so far. Beers at The King's Arms on Monday night turned into a marathon Korean dinner. Yesterday visited Hampton Court, where it was windy and cold, but interesting. I skipped the hedge maze in lieu of the Tudor kitchens, which were very interesting. We ate in last night and were in bed early.

Tonight is Patrick Stewart and the Royal Shakespeare Company in The Tempest. Then tomorrow I'm up early to go to Canterbury. Friday I think we're going to Cambridge for a night to check out the college boys.
