London Weekend

Thursday:
We traveled by train to London, Liverpool Street and took a cab to our hotel. Dinner at the Texas Embassy. After Texas gained independence from Mexico and before it was part of the US it was it's own country and had an embassy in London very near the location of the restaurant. So says the menu.

Friday:
The British Museum! We spent a long time in the Roman and Greek areas. I got to see the Elgin Marbles. After lunch we ran through the "must see"s including the Rosetta Stone.
Friday night was at the opera (in my black dress) to see La Boheme.

Saturday:
The Original Tour. Did you know that Trafalgar Square has no pigeons because a hawker and his hawk are there all day? Did you know that if you sit in the top of a tour bus in freezing weather for a long time your legs can get numb from cold without you realizing it until you stand up?
We added layers before going on the Thames river cruise. We also stopped by a retro clothing store we discovered and I got a dress for the upcoming 1960's Ancient House event.
Saturday night we saw Avenue Q. It spoke to me as a college graduate (especially a college graduate with a "BA in English.")

Sunday:
Leisurely lunch with Gray (a dear friend from UGA who is studying in London). We ate at a restaurant that serves dum sum. Shared food in small portions that keeps coming as long as you keep ordering. Perfect for catching up and reminiscing. Then the train ride back to home sweet home.

Pictures will follow after I unpack.
