Yesterday Audrey and I woke up to sunny, warm weather. We decided to abandon our plan of going inside Westminster Abbey to stay outside and work on some Vitamin D production. We walked all over the city to Leicester Square (where we picked up our half-price Les Mis tickets at the "tkts" booth), around Little Italy, through Chinatown, and people-watched at Trafalgar Square, listened to demonstrating in front of Big Ben and the Parliament Building, watched the London Eye slowly spin, and walked around Westminster Abbey.
We then got ready to go see Les Miserables and took a cab to Soho for dinner. The show was powerful and amazing. The "theatre" was quite small which made the show feel much more inimate and we had eight-row seats which was also quite nice! The music, singing, and production were top-notch.
We're planning on going to Westminster Abbey today, having high tea, and playing it by ear. Tomorrow we're taking the Chunnel to Paris for three days.
The bottom photo is a picture of the water closet door when somebody is occupying the stall! The others are of Big Ben, the Parliament Building, and Westminster Abbey (in order of appearance).
Remind me what "Soho" is?
ReplyDeleteNice to "pic"ture you there, and imagine it really has to be in real life to grasp the grandeur!
We match your weather, day for day--sunny now.
No pics of food plates yet--but you say the food is good? Why do I have a perception it is bland in England?
