The First Night

We are in the basement room. We have a view of a little courtyard, which I found to be beautiful until “they” arrived. “They” are pigeons who find it funny to coo all night long. Coo. Coo. Coo. Between the cooing and the lady throwing up (paper thin walls), I’ve slept on and off for about 5 hours tonight. It is now 6:30am, and I have been up since 5. Doing what? Entertaining myself on the computer (no wi-fi) and finding ways to open the Pringles without waking up Hank…so far, so good. The Pringles are delicious.  We’re meeting Mary at 8am for a trip to the Cotswalds and Blenheim Palace. I still can’t believe I’m finally here in England again. Oh, and the pigeon is back. Coo.
