London…baby! London!
damn….I start working tomorrow…Nervous…yes!
My bro would be thrilled with the easy access of Starbucks in London and Paris….all coffee – all the time.
Ok…after getting smacked around by the excess baggage charges in Rome and the damn powerful pound and the weak US dollar exchange rate…we’re trying to do things cheaply in London. Nice town…but the pound is kicking our ass…
We found a delightful little restaurant last night that served a three course dinner for 6.50 pounds. Score! Tasty dinner of pancetta-pasta salad, Baked Chicken Normandy and strawberry jelly with chantilly cream.
Our flat is lovely…someone left trash at our front door….I was so thrilled about the place that I moved all of luggage downstairs…I couldn’t wait to move-in….Mark was meeting the rental company. Call-me SuperWoman!
Picadilly Circus looks different from my last visit, over a decade ago. I don’t remember the Virgin Record Store….all three of them in the vicinity…I don’t remember Starbucks, Burger King, Pizza Hut and the Body Shop, either….globalization…baby.
It’s a grey day….hope it doesn’t rain…I’ll get around to posting pix…in a bit…
