so I’m in England, just accross the pond, if you will. And let me tell you, international flights have restored my faith in airline customer service. Food was great, people were great, etc.

But anyway, London is great. Heathrow is a disaster of an airport, but the city is amazing so far. Love, love, love hearing the accents all around and such. We got in and rode the metro into town,

Mikale and I on the metro

and are staying with some friends right downtown, so that’s fun.

But yeah, haven’t done a whole lot yet, went and wondered around trafalger square and listened to carolers out (see below),


then wondered around town a bit to see the lights and the fun.

The highlight of day one though was definitely seeing Les Miserables on the stage in London. Fantastic. Seriously, I don’t know if I just haven’t seen it in forever, or if it really has gotten dramatically better, but it is such a powerful story and the music is great. Cool thing here is that all the accents are real too. :)


Anyway, I’ll post as I can and keep you up to speed on the adventures.

Merry Christmas!

    OK! So who are you going to believe is more envious,
    I am home wrestling with 10 pounds of meatball mix.
    On the other hand you are going to miss them, and rolls and potato salad and dup i grytan, raspberry slush. etc.etc.etc. I agree with Jenny on the girl. Looks blond, any chance Scandinavian? God Jul!

    I love that we’ve now both seen Les Mis in the Queen’s Theatre in 2008. Though you are clearly fonder of it than I am. It’s not really my cup of tea as far as musical theatre goes, but it was still great fun. I laughed hysterically when they lowered the ‘safety curtain’ during the intermission. I’m still not sure what that was. :)

    Have fun in J-town!
