RP is in Reno for the night and arrives back in SF tomorrow.
I literally meant what items in libraries I wanted to see. And not just London either, but also Cambridge and the Bodleian. Now I have my three lists and have made contact with everyone. And I’ll be seeing some other things as well. I’ll be seeing my friend H., whom I’ll be staying with, and it looks as though I will see a new friend, SJCT, from the Ransom Center this past June. At any rate, it will be good to chat. Our conversations at the Ransom Center went on at some length. The staff and fellows met at 10:00 on Wednesdays there but one week we ended up staying in the parlor until 1:00 or later! I felt guilty since I knew he had a lot of research to finish while there (whereas I had finished all of my research after about the second week).

ST my list of items from Oxford. He very kindly offered to look at them and give me recommendations about librarians to contact. He offered to do the same with Cambridge, too.
Of course, this goal says London. ST basically told me to prepare to be extremely frustrated at the BL.

I booked tickets to go on the London Eye for the day I arrive in London. I booked them for 8:30 not realising where it was. I thought I should book them as late as possible so I could get to the London Eye. I then find out it’s five minutes walk from where I’m staying in Waterloo lol so I could of booked them earlier but it’s OK I guess because I can eat first and then go on the London Eye.
I still don’t know what I’m going to do on the Saturday day time (I have plans in the evening) or the Sunday morning and early afternoon or Monday until the mid-afternoon. I want to decide by Friday so then I can find out where everything is and decide what order I want to do them in and pick things I can do just in case of something unforeseen happening.

.....what I want to see yet because there is just so much in London that I would want to see but i am not down there for long and some of the time has been allocated for other things.
I think I would like to go on the London Eye because you get to see London from up there and it is amazing so I think that is on the list of things that I am going to go and see when I am down there.
As for anything else I don’t know yet but I am going to have to think about it because time is running out. I am off to London two weeks tomorrow (22nd) so I need to have a long and hard think about what i want to see the most and then make a plan.
