Having a great time with my friends Robin and Jennifer who came in for a long weekend from Michigan and Massachusetts. I got Maddie all set up with an afternoon playdate/sleepover, so I didn't have to be back to meet the bus. My friends and I left the house yesterday at a quarter to 9 in the morning and got back to the house last night (or this morning) at about half past midnight. Just a note: Indian food at midnight, not always the best choice.
We had a beautiful day yesterday. Both women have been to London before, so we wandered off the beaten track. I took them to the corner with the artist I bought a picture from when Vern and Beth were here, and they each got their own London pic. We walked across Tower Bridge and over to Borough Market and England's oldest pub--the George. We had a great lunch sitting outside in the shadow of Southwark Cathedral at FISH! Then we spent some time in Oxford Circus and at Liberty Department store, which is old enough to have memorials for their employees who lost their lives in World War II. Then it was off to Victoria Station to see Wicked at the Victoria Apollo. It was my third time to see it, and it is still fabulous. Just amazing.
Today, my friends get to experience typical London weather, but they are former Duesseldorfers, so they're used to it.
