Would have been great to do a mermaid tour! :-)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561892583686450813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-2430971131414467852008-07-09T09:10:00.000+01:002008-07-09T09:10:00.000+01:00Oh I love this, Amanda.

I remember the Circus very well. It was such an intersting place. Your photos bring back such lovely memories.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-78157946086222096782008-07-09T02:58:00.000+01:002008-07-09T02:58:00.000+01:00I know I haven't been here in a while, but I sure ...I know I haven't been here in a while, but I sure do love to read about your travels. I wish I could have been there. I love to be the tourist. My husband, may he rest, didn't like to do the touristy things, so when we were in London, I missed out on seeing the "sights". But we did do a road trip and saw a lot of the country from Dover to Scarbourough. I even went to the "fair". Hope you're having a great time.

I think some of the pigs either were decorated by quilters, or could be quilters if they wanted to give it a try. Your comment about the waters reminds me of my youth. We lived in Jacksonville, Florida, and we had sulpher water in our well. We were very used to it, in fact my mother used to say that other people's water had no taste, but we enjoyed other people's reactions to it. The zoo seemed to be where we always took company, as it was free, and gave us kids much pleasure. They had sulpher water too, but much stronger than ours as it ran so much, and seeing our out of state visitors try the water coolers was priceless. (Maybe we were a little warped, my brothers xwife thought so)<BR/>Looking forward to the next chapter.Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07282145706665260731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2522075895037083320.post-35108298799784036522008-07-08T09:06:00.000+01:002008-07-08T09:06:00.000+01:00Thanks Amanda!I love to look at the way the buildi...Thanks Amanda!<BR/>I love to look at the way the buildings were constructed.
