Hey, I am in an internet cafe checking up on things and must say we are having the time of our lives.
 
 Yesterday we went to Edinburgh, Scotland...what a beautiful city.
 
 PK, I took some shots of St. James Place from the train as we passed through Newcastle. I will share them when we get back next week.
 
 London is a great city. What a place. So many things to do and see.
 
 The Victoria and Albert Museum was a treat as well as the awesome Imperial War Museum.
 
 We are off to White Hart Lane tomorrow....can´t wait.
 
 having fun, Dennis(pigpen)

Have fun. My wife and I really liked it when we went. She´s a history/archaeology buff, so we spent 3 days in the British Museum . That place is not to be missed. Tower of London is awesome as well, and high recommendations to the National Portrait Gallery and even the Royal Coach House (or whatever it is). And be sure to have a "jacket potato" or two.

Oh, and Westminster Abbey. Walking through that place was incredible. The names of those buried in the walls is a who´s who of history of western civilization.

I´m sorry, next time I go to London, I will not be seeing the sites! I will be at one of the many football arenas there.

Piggy:
 
 Thanks for the shots. Looking forward to seeing them.
 
 Ask the Spurs´ supporters if they want The Trap on their touchline next season, as former Italy boss Giovanni Trappatoni is rumored to be a candidate for the Tottenham job.
 
 Have a great time!
 
 Take care,

Sorry guys, I just got the Spurs rumours, now a day after the match.
 
 I have to say yesterday was the most glorious of sporting events I have ever been to. Incredible.
 
 Even my wife was impressed...she´s never seen any atmosphere like it.
 
 I took quite a few shots.....I have great close-ups of Owen, Murphy, Kewell, Keller, etc....our seats were 15 yards from the pitch....
 
 Maybe if anyone is interested, I can write a diary of White Hart Lane when I return complete with pictures.
 
 Simply awesome....
 
 thanks for the suggestions guys...
 
 Off to the British Museum....

You HAVE to put up a diary with pictures.
 
 And the British Museum is amazing. One of my favorite museums in the world. Have fun.

You couldn´t bring home a Liverpool win could you? How about photographic evidence of Gary Doherty´s intentional handball?????!!!!!
 
 Glad you had a good time. I want to go to Anfield before they tear that sucker down.
