Only in Britain can a program like "Fools riding horses" can actually make it past production and onto television airing during prime time right after the six o'clock news. "Fools riding on horses" shows people in their best attempts at an equestrian course but failing hopelessly, often falling head over heels and being run over by horses. Question: Who the hell rides horses nowadays anyway? And equestrian? Who follows that? Only in England, eh. Only in England did I go to the National Maritime Museum and they proudly displayed posters boasting themselves as hosts for the equestrian events in the 2012 olympics.
(Note: When would Sarah usually go to a Naval/Maritime Museum? Do I really care about boats and sailors? Aside from Sailor week in New York? Well, Yocheved and I were on our way in Greenwich to see the Royal Observatory and the Meridian Time Line and happened to stumble across this large building (with free entry, of course. When you're travelling, you'll grab at anything that's free.) It turned out to be quite interesting, seeing as the British Empire grew due to its naval prowess and trade.)
So that's right, I'm in the UK now, but I won't stop my tales of Greece and their magical islands.
Tomorrow. Sorry.
