Last Hoorah


Ok, so I think that we have hit that stage in a "vacation" that you are kinda ready to come home. I am really missing my nice comfortable bed and good southern food! Staying in a hotel for almost 3 weeks will really take a toll on you. Not to mention the eating out all the time. At this point, I would really just like a good turkey sandwich with iceberg lettuce and mayo, a cold glass of milk and fruit. All this pub food can really get old. We can't wait to be able to cook on our own and take our lunch to work.

This past weekend we did make it into London to walk around and do a small bit of Christmas shopping. We made it to the Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square (we could see Big Ben from there), Harrods, and Leicester Square. We even got to get the famous in the phone booth pictures. Talk about a crowd! I don't think that I have ever seen so many people in one place...Harrods! Although it was quite a spectacular sight in itself...7 floors of anything and everything you would ever need, even gourmet food floor! I found a gelato bar, but we had to eat it outside and not in the store, so we decided to pass. Once we had our shopping in the bag, we went to find some lunch. A friend of mine suggested that we try a place called Wagamama. It is an asian health food restaurant I think, Catherine...correct me if I am wrong. I have a noodle dish and Ken had a curry dish. Now curry and Indian food are really popular here in the UK. They are everywhere. Ken seams to like it, but I am not a fan. I could smell it for the rest of the day. Then we tried the wasabi fudge cake...it was AWESOME! Good suggestion Catherine!

I have a few more things to post, but that will have to wait til tomorrow. We are busy packing and getting things ready to go back home! We are moving into our flats on January 8th! The furniture is being delivered and we will be able to stay in them that weekend!! As soon as we know the complete address we will let everyone know.

Cheers for tonight!
