| Yours truly |
Today was a wonderful but long and busy day. The highlight was our visit to Highclere Castle located about an hour and a half west southwest of London (even though the show, Downton Abbey place the estate in Yorkshire to the north of London). The estate is spectacular and the grounds are amazing. Due to the early hour involved in heading to the estate, not posts were feasible after I had dealt with my usual office emails and preparing a few document. Once we got off the tour coach, we visited Harrod's - which is amazingly opulent, albeit very expensive.
We then took the underground back to the Soho area. After a visit to Compton's of Soho for a cocktail, we ended up at a wonderful restaurant called The Ivy of Soho.
One thing that has been noticeable is the extreme dislike of Donald Trump literally everywhere we go. We constantly have to stress to Brits as well as other Europeans we have met that we did NOT vote for him and that we find the man to be just as foul as they view him. Indeed, perhaps even more negatively than the non-Americans do. Polls have shown that the good opinion of the United States has plummeted since November 8, 2016, and the drive factor is Donald Trump. Believe me, the polls are 100% accurate. Those planning to travel abroad had best get ready for statements that "you people elected him"
