April 13th does not exist.
We had a comically terrible day when we stopped over in Manchester. Everything went wrong and awful things kept happening around us, until during the worst dinner in memory we just started laughing and couldn't stop. Eventually we took a couple of Dramamine apiece just to be able to go to sleep at 9pm so we could get the hell out of town at 7 the next morning. Does not exist.

This page has a lot of words. What's up with all the baked beans, England? I don't understand. But I love your mushrooms.

I got that Stan Rogers song stuck in my head when we saw the ravens that live at the Tower of London. I spent a bit of time writing the lyrics around the edge only to realize later that I got them wrong.
The travel sketchbook
Back in school, my department had little gift exchanges at the end of each semester. One time, my teacher pulled my name, and she got me a tiny handmade sketchbook. I use it exclusively as a travel notebook, just so I can keep a lot of really great memories all in one place, and it will take me a while to fill it.

So for the month of April..
I last posted on the 2nd of April, and we got married on the 3rd! There are a ton of pictures on Bill's site, such as
AIR GUITAR oh god.
We left for our honeymoon in the UK on the 6th. We stayed in London for six days, did a night in Manchester, and moved on to Edinburgh We were only supposed to be in Edinburgh for about three days, but we got trapped by the Icelandic Smoke Monster, and had an extra five and a half days tacked on. Various tourist photos and whatnot can also be found on Bill's site. We got home finally on the 21st. It was the longest vacation I've had probably ever!
