Anyhow, I read some this morning about Boston, England as I had never heard of it before. Wow! Some are so bitter, still, and say that the Eastern Europe immigrant population there probably swung the vote for Brexit. And that almost the whole west side of town is owned by those same immigrants. Quite a bit of vitriol in what I read. But the history of the village and the wool trade is wonderful.Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-88347595969277214922020-09-15T19:51:51.145+01:002020-09-15T19:51:51.145+01:00I drank Doom Bar when I visited Wetherspoon's ...I drank Doom Bar when I visited Wetherspoon's in Kent last year.

There's a pub in St. Petersburg, Fla., called "The Moon Under Water." I think it's a pretty common pub name, from some legend or folk tale, as I recall.

And then one day I climbed the steps of the highest pyramid in the Yucatan peninsula and when I got to the top I could not for the life of me see how I was going to get down. '<br />Since I'm not still living there now you may assume that I did. Mostly on my butt. There was also a "hidden" stairway inside a pyramid at Chichen Itza which we climbed to see the jade jaguar. It was so close, so enclosed, there were so many people. I almost died. Or felt like it anyway. <br />So no, I don't climb into darkness or light anymore. <br />But I appreciate you doing it and taking that picture. Thank you! <br />As for seeing your son's book in the bookstore- well. What a heart-filling moment! Beautiful.
