Being a Tourist with Godo
More Pics of Tourism with Godo
An old friend from Canada stopped by to visit for a couple of days on his way back from a business trip in Germany. Because he was a vegetarian environmentalist who used to live in the same housing co-op as Vicki, on the first night he was here we took him out drinking with a bunch of investment bankers.
I suspect he may have had a better time on Sunday night when we saw an open-air production of the Canterbury Tales. It took place in a variety of outdoor locations in Southwark, starting at the Old George Pub. James cleverly brought a blanket and a few bottles of beer which helped quench our thirst between the third and fourth acts. It was the perfect way to while away a summer evening. It was fun and mildly bawdy and there was singing and Vicki reverted to her perfoming instincts and got up on stage and danced like a chicken. She was startlingly believable in her poultryness. I fully expected to be hen-pecked when we got home that night.
I'm a bit envious of Godo. He's managed to become quite successful doing doing an incredibly useful job that he loves. He started a company called Carbon Busters which advises local governments and school boards how they can save money by being more energy efficient.
