The London Times

 














   J and PA, our B-town buddies, live abroad now. We have been looking forward to visiting these 2 cool ex-pats. These 2 should work in the travel industry.  They know how to make the most of 3 days in London. Highlights included:

Victoria and Albert Hall for Symphonic Rock Classics.  David Hockney exhibit at the Serpentine: News of his death the following day made this memory bittersweet.  Peter Pan statue and the scenic Kensington Gardens. Westminster Cathedral with a veritable plethora of martyrs and Westminster Abbey where we visited the graves of Dickens and Jane Austen.  Afternoon tea with sandwiches, scones and desserts.  Afternoon movie in a historic movie house. You should see Savage House if you want to.  Strolling through Nottinghill Gate neighborhood and some shopping along Portobello Road.  Walk through the Theater district.  Museum of Brands. Buses.  Tubes.  Bridge games.  Tasty Meals.  Maggie Jones Restaurant received an A for Amazing.  Chit chat kitty cat galore!  Basically, we were sad to leave.  

We're in Dublin at this moment in time. After a quick lie down in the hotel, we're ready to venture out in search of a nourishing repast.
