Thanksgiving in London - The Gilkeson's tripped to London for Thanksgiving.  Not that the brits celebrate it or anything.  But why stay in Italy where they don't celebrate it either?  The family kept up a frenetic pace over 5 days...3 palaces, two castles, a cruise down the Thames, and of course some fish and chips.

Early July 2003 > Early outings  updated 18 Jul 03

Over a weekend, we went to the beach at Lignano and visited the small town of Sacile.  The beach was an hour-long drive on the Autostrada, or Italian toll highway.  Unfortunately the waves on the Adriatic Sea are too docile for body surfing so we spent time people watching and catching rays. Sacile was a quaint little town with nice trattorias and shopping, only 15 minutes away.   See all of the pics here.
