Royal Flush

Wow, terrible song reference, I just couldn't resist :)  

They do a lot of things differently in London, big red do
uble decker buses, funny phrases, traffic lights? (If anyone understands how the pedestrian walk symbols work here, please, let me know!)
But who would have guessed some places here have palac
es for bathrooms?

On Sunday, the entire group went to a "pub lunch" compliments of the UND.  Lunch was delicious, pub was very nice, but let me tell
 YOU, after most everyone else had left we decided to check out the "toilets" per out professo
rs recommendation and, well, for practical reasons of course.  
So there we are bouncing down the stairs, opening the door and then squealing like little girls
 opening a new dolly on Christmas morning.  There was a big beautiful marble anteroom of sorts with luxurious couches to lounge on.  The next room, with four personal rooms containing toilets was centered around a small fountain and several roman styl
e columns.  The Final room had two more self-contained toilets and another fine couch for lounging beneath quite intricate molding. Ironically, only one of the toilets worked, hmm.

We couldn't resist a quick photo shoot, which, I would imagine quite frustrated the boys with us, especially since they sent one in after us . . . he looked right at home too, kinda frightening how much he liked it . . . 

Much sight seeing commenced following our inspirational bathroom visit . . . pictures and such to follow :)  I'm still figuring out how to
