Outside of Cambridge toward a small village, there is a cemetary dedicated to the American airmen stationed over here from World War II. All of the pictures today are from my visit to the cemetary. Nicole had a bout with some allergies so she did not make it. The photos are of a gentleman named Frank Litton from Colorado, who flew out of Cambridge and never returned. The pictures of the angel and the bombers is from the ceiling in the small chapel at the cemetary. The final one pretty much speaks for itself.
This cemetary is certainly modest when compared to some of the ones in France, but, it is impressive none the less to see American troops honored on foreign soil. It certainly does not seem like there is even a chance of that in this day and time.I got a haircut today. I was not going to get one while in England, because Dale in Oxford cuts my hair for $12. But, since I am going to dine with Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Scalia tomorrow, I thought I should get one (i.e. Nicole told me I had to get one). We are very much looking forward to going back to the Middle Temple. It is a magnificant place that is full of history.
This weekend we are going to Scotland to tour the Highlands and see Loch Ness. Well, I am at least, Nicole is going to go to Scotland and buy Harry Potter. I fear that although she will be there with me in body; she will not be there in mind. Of course I will report on the sightseeing part of the trip next week.
Cheers

Apryl picked up her copy of Harry Potter at midnight on the day it came out and continued to stay up all night/morning reading it. She had told me earlier that I wasn't to talk to her during the next few days, unless perhaps it was about dinner. Luckily, we didn't have to go that long without talking, since she finished the entire book in less than 24 hours!
- Apryl did tell me she was jealous that Nicole got to purchase her book in Scotland, where I was informed J.K. Rowling lives and writes.
