For the first night since I've been back, I don't feel exhausted (and sore), so I figured I'd start my trip report (in easily digestible lumps). I might even stay awake until 10:00 tonight.

As you know, Bob, [livejournal.com profile] acanthusleaf (hereafter known as "L") and I went to London last week. The theme of our trip turned out to be Medieval cathedrals and Roman Britain, plus good friends and good food. I also discovered that British waiters are much more polite than American ones, in that they won't come up to your table unless you gesture to them, which means that they won't automatically bring your bill, take your order, refill your water, or anything else except clear your plate. This is nice, except when you're in a hurry, as we often were. (Also, there's no such thing as a free refill on drinks, and every drink cost two pounds.)

So, on to the first rock....

Most restaurants will bring you tap water for free, but you have to ask for it.

I'm eagerly awaiting the reports on Roman Britain.

Also, any neat cool things you didn't expect that you stumbled across.
