Oye!
We're back from London! Great time. Mildly brisk and sunny for the most part. In addition to the standard tourist sights, highlights include:
- Running around in museums
- Running around in museums
- Two wildly bizarre plays--one where Kim Cattrall says "Do you see?" and "I don't care" so repeatedly, I think her character was autistic, and another where the two old men talked around a tree the whole time
- Suprisingly great food. Over the week we had Chinese, Indian, Lebanese, Spanish, and standard pub fare. I slugged down the most amazing cup of hot chocolate ever at a Spanish breakfast place. And we had brunch at Cafe Diana--a hole in the wall restaurant/shrine to Princess Di. It's been around since the 1980s, so there are these awkward letters from her and her staff thanking them in a very delicate "you're freaking me out...but thank you for your flowers/letters/updates" way.
- Views of London from the Eye and the other side of the Thames.
- Short trip to Oxford for some reminiscing.

hooray! the old men didn't talk so much around the tree as in front of the tree. nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!
you two are so cute.
um...was the second play "waiting for godot" or something? wtf?
YES! Way to go, English Major! It was strange. But better than the Kim Cattrall one.
