London

We're in London now. Yesterday was a busy day of travel. We took a boat, plane, train and the tube! After we finally arrived at our hotel, we went across the street to a place called The Goose. It was one of those old pubs with velvet fabric on the booths and wood floors. What a good time we had enjoying the locals. I would venture to say we were the only tourists in the place.
Today we hit the ground running! We went into the theater district and got show tickets for both the matinee and evening shows. We saw We Will Rock You and Jersey Boys. What great shows!
I find it hard to believe this is the off season. Town was packed! The sidewalks were overflowing with theater goers and people out on the town. We made it back to our hotel by 11:30. Not feeling too bad for a 13 hour day! Tomorrow we're heading in again to see if we can score tickets for The Book of Mormon. Hope we get them!
Did I mention it's wet and cold? It rained this morning and this evening. Reminds me a lot of Indiana! I had forgotten how glamorous it is to wear 20 pounds of clothes, mittens, ear muffs, coat and a scarf! Oh well, I'm staying warm and enjoying the trip!

A busy night in the London theater district!
