Update from Matt

Jacob and Amanda will keep you up to date on our recent exploits, so just a few brief notes:

New places I visited:

The Bank of England Museum (see Jacob's post)
Edinburgh (see Amanda's (upcoming) post for many details)
Wicked, the Musical (outstanding)
She Stoops to Conquer (a play - went with Allison.  We went to a pre-theatre feast at the natural restaurant to attend before a play - Subway!)
The Tower of London (brief visit - we got a great deal on a family pass to see five different castles/attractions, so we don't have to do it all at once)

We've now been here just over a month, which means our trip is 1/4 over.  What's so great about being here for four months is I don't feel like we're rushed, yet we're still getting to visit all sorts of outstanding places and attractions.  This weekend is a bit quiet (no plans as of now), but we have plenty of stuff to check out.  I'm going to stay up late to watch the super bowl as well.  Really, the next 2 1/2 weeks are about as quiet as we'll get.  There is a Fullham football match the kids and I will go to one week from Saturday, but that's about it.

Also, the students I'm dealing with here are simply outstanding.  Bad things could still happen, of course, but this group is quite mature and punctual for 21-year olds.

All for now.
