We Visit London – Oct 2nd to 6th – 2009
We have returned to London! The last time we were here, it was our honeymoon and Deb was really sick! She woke up the day after we were married with the mother of all cold/flu bugs and it took the first half of our honeymoon for her to get over it. We spent 6 days in London on that trip and most of what my sweet bride could remember was sleeping in Hyde park with her head on my lap. Luckily, the weather then was a truly uncharacteristic for London – it was early September and the sky was clear with temperatures in the 80s.
This has been Deb’s chance to see the true London – (Cold and rainy) but she’s not sick and we’ve been having a great time. We are staying right it the heart of the theater district between Covent Garden and Leicester Square. We’ve been spending our days wandering the streets, we visited the parks, Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace (the queen say’s hi to you all, and wants you to know that she’s happy George Bush is out of office). We went to the Churchill Museum that opened in 2004. It’s in the underground bunkers that were used by the UK government during WWII. Churchill was a really interesting guy. I think our modern day politics would make it hard for a guy like him today and that’s probably a little sad, but then again, maybe he was right for that time and not now…
More to come – Time for me to refill my coffee!

So glad you two are having a better time in London this time around! I LOVE LONDON!!!!!!! So did you steal anything from Buckingham Palace – search through any bathroom cabinets? Take a fork?
Howdy Lisa! Yes, we had a wonderful time and even got to see Oliver the musical play – it was probably one of the best productions i have seen in a long time!! John loved it too! We saw the best view of London from the London Eye, and I finally understand what Brits love about Fish and Chips! Right now we are on a ferry in the Mediterranean heading from Athens to Mykonos! Stay tuned for future posts (and yes, the ferry has wireless internet and yes we are the geekiest couple alive and have our laptop – don’t tell David on us!!)
