...this morning's answer to our almost-just about-nearly impossible question was "stand up when a woman enters the room."  According to the book More Things You Need To Be Told, the #1 tip on how men can be classier and more respectful around women was the above!  That's why I stand the entire 4 hours we're on the air...you never know when a woman might enter.  Plus it's easier for me to dodge any object thrown by Janeen.

We visited Strawberry Field & Penny Lane (above photos), the Beatles birthplaces and early homes, Eleanor Rigby’s grave, and many others.  We also got a first hand tour of the Casbah Coffee Club, where the band  first performed as the Beatles after visiting Hamburg.

We arrived safely Friday morning -- the 4th of July -- at 8:30am London time, 3:30am in the tri-state!  After checking into our hotel we made it to Buckingham Palace, since it's within walking distance.  Also, took in several other sights that first day, including eating at the original Hard Rock Cafe.  Since it was the 4th, any American showing their passport got a free beer!  (Janeen was all over that!)  Since then (so far) it's been Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral (where Chuck & Di got married...that worked out well for them), Harrod's, The Tower Of London, and our Beatles tour of London (we head to Liverpool for another Wednesday).  Monday we had a tour of Windor Castle, Stonehenge (above photo - creepy!  My hair, not ...
