Stop 1- London
On our way to Steve’s conference in Portugal, we were able to stop in London for 2 nights and 2 days. We had a fabulous time exploring the city in those 2 days. We stayed right near Paddington Station in this great little funky arty hotel The Pavilion and were able to take the underground everywhere. We saw the London Eye, Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, St Paul’s, The Tower of London and much more. We were able to meet up with our friend Danielle who was finishing up her master’s in London and went out for a pint. Steve and I also went out for the BEST indian food that we have ever had. It was delicious. Also, we went to the Royal Shakespeare Company’s performance of The Canterbury Tales, which was tremendous. So good, that I now want to reread the book!! We can’t wait to go back and spend more time in London (and more money!). Here are some pics…

Yeah, an update! I really like the picture of Steve in front of the lion. It looks like the lion is eating his head!

Was Steve looking for Dr. Who in the phone booth?
So good to have you back in Chile, Lisa – know you have been missed by husband, dog and friends.

I didn’t find the Doctor in that booth, but we did keep an eye out for blue police call boxes.

So nice to read about your exploits again! I kinda dig Steve’s hirsute look.
