We were so European on Sunday. Up late, coffee late, dinner late. Okay, dinner was at 7 but that's late for us. But the advantage of being Americans who go for the senior citizen discount at dinner is that, in Europe, there is always a table.
Our coffee stroll took us through our embassy filled Belgravia neighborhood including a stop at Hyde Park where, just like at home, there was a mob of people running to raise money for something. Later we decided to take one of the walking tours in one of our many guidebooks, choosing to stroll through our neighborhood, Hyde Park and Mayfair, the neighborhood we stayed in when we were here with the Kepner Educational Excellence Program students in 2009. It was supposed to take two hours but five minutes in we hit Patisserie Valerie which caused a slight delay. Then on to Hyde Park, Serpentine Lake, Speaker's Corner, lovely Mayfair with its many beautiful renovated buildings and dinner at Mayfair Tandoori. While the call of more Lebanese food for the second night in a row was very strong, we decided to not get in a rut…just yet.
So a not very interesting day but there will be a lot of those. Some pictures to hopefully add some flavor though. Victoria and Albert Museum plus Harrod's on Monday…we think.
Looks like you two are already having an amazing time! You took some great pictures! I miss you guys and can’t wait to see you again hopefully sometime soon!
Classy photos make me feel like I’m there–and taking time to see it all! You 2 not only look great, but you don’t look like American tourists. I think you have learned to blend into the culture already. Has anyone spoken to you in French–you definitely have that European look!
Looks awesome! Yes, I would keep an eye on the free hugs guy!!!
