A friend of mine at work suggested that I start watching Cities of the Underworld - it's a History Channel show where this guy basically researches and explores underground "cities." Keely and I watched the one about Edinburgh, Scotland yesterday, and it showed an entire underground world that had been built for the poor of Edinburgh to live in because four hundred years ago (or whenever Edinburgh was founded) no one wanted to build outside the city walls for fear that the dreaded English would come and attack them.
It was a really interesting episode, and I would recommend anyone interested in history or travel to check out the show.
You can order them on Netflix and find out more about the show on The History Channel website.

to see if it works
okay meghan. i have never "blogged" before, so i am searching my way thru this. somebody just sent me an invitation to join facebook - as a member of a professional group- and i am thinking even though i want to avoid this stuff, it may not be so easy.

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont
Hello everyone, and welcome to my new blog. Our new blog.
I've invited you here so that we can all have a forum on which to share our thoughts on books, films, news shows, just generally art in general and life, more specifically.
My first recommendation is Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont. It is a film I just finished watching about a widow who goes to live at a hotel in London so that she won't be a burden to her daughter. (Aunt Holly - the lack of detail is for you).
By the way, while I'm thinking of it, we should probably put **spoiler alert** at the top of a post so that if there are people who really don't want to know anything about the plot of whatever it is we're talking about, they won't have to read on.
Not sure if anyone else has seen this one, but if so, let me know what you thought. If not, start watching!!
