Happy meter 10 (That’s for you Tim)
Landed no problem. A few bumps in the air but I was the only one who seemed to notice. Nice empty flight and we got to stretch out a bit!! The late flight rocks! You get in at a reasonable time and if you are staying at a hotel, no need to wait for your rooms to be ready. By the time you arrive at the hotel – 12:30 or so the rooms are close to being done, no need to tarry in some tea shop somewhere. 47 Park is fantastic. Thanks Olin!
Its now 8 o clock London time and the boys are still messing around after a full day and a museum to boot. Wha? Blake is watching a LIVE Man U vs. Chelsea game. He is thrilled.
We bought Oyster cards and rode the bus to the Natural History museum. (Great tip Mark!) Bought food at the food hall at Selfridges. No food court here. A food HALL! Great cheese. Morbier and Comte. So tasty. Now time to make up a bit of jet lag at the hotel.
Noticed already :
- I’ve heard more French spoken on the street today than English. Spoken by hordes of adolescents who are ALL wearing scarves that are a bit too big. They look like tribesmen with the woolen neck rings.
-The food is infinitely better now than when I was a college student. It turned me into a vegetarian at the time. Very tasty now.
-We saw someone we know on the street. No kidding. Daniel Stewart who played Leontes when we did WINTERS TALE at the Folger was walking down the street as our taxi was driving us in this AM. Really.
