London Stories #1
I’ll start you off with some general photos from London. I divided the rest into specific sites we visited but these were just general shots around town that I took. I have added captions and identified as many as possible. Enjoy!
A few comments:
— We mastered the London Underground subway system and British Rail. We have also learned the city of London better than most Londoners.
— Along the same lines, don’t ask Londoners for directions. They can’t give them because they often don’t know themselves.
— Near the Clapham Junction subway station is a wonderful little restaurant called Fish in a Tie. Highly recommended. Great prices.
— The Portobello Road Market was an unexpected highlight of the trip! We went the Saturday before we left and bought all of our souvenirs + more there. Wonderful weather made it even more enjoyable!
— The Texas Embassy Cantina is a fun place for us Texans (decent frozen margaritas too and great bartenders).
— Wagamama is a not-to-be-missed noodle house (thanks for the suggestion Mike).
— It’s fun to get lost in the Soho area.
— An original Mini truly is tiny inside!!
— David Blaine looked like crap after only 5 days in his box (I have pictures of him). No, we did not throw eggs at him.
— Susan and CJ are great to travel with… looking forward to going to Boston with them next month. This is my favorite groups shot!
