02/17/2007: "London Calling"
Well, this Monday it is time to head over to Europe again. This trip should be very interesting. My plans are to arrive at the Frankfurt Airport early enough to catch a speed train into Cologne before 9:30am Tuesday. I am scheduled to arrive in the Frankfurt Airport at 7:10am and the high-speed train leaves about 8:10 am taking about an hour to get to Cologne. So if all goes according to plan, I will have my blood drawn, and then jump back on the train by 10:15 to get to London by 1:00pm. Hopefully, this is enough time to make it to the Thérèse Raquin at the National Theatre by 2:15pm. My big concern is that on this flight, I have a layover in Washington DC. The way the East Coast airports were working last week there is no guarantee I will make it.
Late or not, the good news is I will be spending the majority of the week in London! The timing worked so that I can meet up with some dear friends that I taught with while in Vienna. Each year, they do a one-week theater tour in London. This year, I get to join them to see shows such as Rock and Roll, There Came a Gypsy Riding, The Glass Menagerie with Jessica Lange, and Kristin Scott Thomas in Chekov’s, The Seagull.
I also get to hang out in London and visit some of the museums and pubs. By Sunday or Monday, I will come back through Brussels, Belgium to spend a night or two with my friend Mike. Then back to Cologne for my injections and night of fever. In the morning, I am on the speed train again heading back to the airport in Frankfurt and home on the 28th.
