Yesterday was great. I went to Lincoln Castle and saw the Magna Carta, which was pretty cool. The castle doubled as a prison for a long time, and the chapel has individual seats that close the prisoners in like coffins so the prisoners can't see anything but the minister. The system was based on solitary reflection, which meant no one ever saw anyone else. That's enough to drive anyone crazy. I also went on a boat tour of the city. It seems a lot of people live on these long boats along side the river. It was like a traveling gypsy population. After that, I was super tired of walking around, so I went to the movies. Guess what? The cost of movies is the same price here as it is at home-$10. So while everything else here is about double, the movies are the same! This morning I headed to London to meet up with Linda. We have walked around a bit and have already had problems figuring out the money. The real object is to keep Linda awake for as long as possible to get her on schedule. After all, tomorrow is our first Harry Potter filled day. A full 12 hours of HP. 'Smashing!' Oh yes, and a big welcome to all of Linda's friends, should they be following our adventures on my blog.

Solitary reflection...sometimes I wish I had coffin-seats like that at work...ha ha
What movie did you see?
Don't they have red bull or anything like that in England for Linda?
Hmmm, if things there are double but the cost of movies is the same, doesn't this just fuel my AMC outrage? I should take this information and demand the return of the days of the $5 ticket (and I'm not just talking about before noon...I mean grown-up hours as well!)
Will you dress up for your HP tour? And if so, will you go as Muggles, Witches, or Squibs (sp?) ??
I await photos...
