Not sure if it is day one or since we have been up for more than 24 hours it counts at 1 ½ days.
I don’t know if people in Houston aren’t friendly or we were tired (Gary) and sick (Valerie) but they sure seemed unhappy in that town. Did see Sarah’s book featured at the newsstand. Are they still pissed that Barrack won? Oh well, we weren’t there long.
Flight was a little late getting in to London but not bad at all.
Figured out the tube stuff and went the right way and got to our hotel. It is as nice as the website said and once we figured out the lighting system it seems like it will be a fine base for us to explore from.
Young women in London like really short skirts and in most instances they were working just fine for them.
Val is still sick with a pretty bad cold but we got a look at the Natural History Museum and it is totally cool and free. Also went to the Victoria and Albert Museum and saw plenty of sculptures and art and girls with really short skirts.
We had cool temperatures, sunshine, wind and even a little snow. Seemed like Anacortes with a bunch of old buildings and lots of people.
Val was a real trooper and we went out at night and hit Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and the Embankment. I liked the look of London at night so I included one of the pictures.
The hotel thinks their internet connection is worth more than I do so it is going to cramp my use a bit but I should be able to get a few posts in while we are here.
Vals cel phone works but mine doesn’t. She may be sending some texts but if we get split up we I can’t call her to find my way back now.
Looking forward to a good nights sleep and another wild adventure tomorrow.
Ok, so take pictures of the short skirts for us! MAybe Val can bring that trend to A- town.
ReplyDeleteare you singing fergie? "how come every time you come around my london london bridge wanna go down like london london"?
ReplyDeleteMy iPhone tells me that Sticky Fingers in phillimore gardens in Kensington(one tube stop away) has free wifi. Check it out
ReplyDeleteI talked to friends who have visited that area and they suggest in Prague: the old town by the River (if that makes sense) and St Charles Bridge. A lot of restaurants and cafes.
ReplyDeleteI hope my sissy feels better soon.
Love you both, Brenda
If someone mistakes you for Paul Mcartney - be kind and give them an autograph anyway!
ReplyDeleteAloha from Maui. Glad you don't have rain! We've had a bit, but how can you complain when it's 80 plus degrees? The pics you've posted are great, love that you're involving all in the Fixit effort. Be sure to give them the website, ha!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your adventure!! Valora, Dan, Mags and Al.
