London was so fun!

I am so late in blogging about London - once I get out of the habit, it's hard to get back in. I'm back & have much to say. First of all, the trip was very fun, especially when the meetings were over. We had the best time hanging with Sean & Caroline. Thank you both for a great time!! Above is a picture Caroline took for me in front of the Cathedral (forgot the name). We attended a darn fast Mass that Sunday, but we did go! We did lots of walking so here's a rundown. Can it already be two weeks ago that we were in London? These thoughts are in no particular order but they make me laugh!

- Pete & Jerry (Cardinal client) walking around together - Sean agrees that Pete should take over that client now.
- Standing on the fountain at Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guards - should have taken Sean's advice & stayed put on the right side. Caroline is also correct "it's never bad to be tall." So true but I'm stuck with my five feet!
- Trying to find food - seems like we were always starving & couldn't find the perfect place to eat.
- The most expensive lunch at Harrod's - very delicious but way too expensive
- Figuring out the tube system - it rocks!
- Visiting the countryside in our car - someone was looking out for us when we got a GPS - it was still hard to navigate with the GPS!! London is a maze to me.
- Stonehenge - nothing to say except "it's a bunch of rocks" but we did see it!
- Beautiful dinner at Oxo Tower overlooking the Thames. Pete & I ate kangaroo & it was good.
- Wonderful weather - amazing - too perfect!
- Seeing people run in a race in monkey suits down the street - never found out why!
- The Tower of London - pretty cool & so much history.
- Forgetting to get pictures of Flat Stanley - still need to do the poster - this weekend for sure.
- Scrunched on the Tube & wondering if Pete was going to lose it & hit someone.
- Being able to watch 3 movies on the flight home - I can't remember the last time I did that.

A great time & wonderful to be with Pete & on no particular schedule. We enjoyed talking with no interruptions & just being together. We'll remember this trip for a long time.
