London baby!

My flight was very long but I had a great seat mate.  We took the same program at U of A together and know some people in common.  I actually even tried to headhunt her father 5/6 years ago. I probably only got   2 hours of sleep since 4:30 AM on Thursday.  So a lot of sights here but first found a hole in the wall pub for Bitter and Fish n' Chip.  I have been walking around London for 4 hours and am exhausted.  Saw the Palace, Westminster Cathedral, Parliament, Tower bridge, Piccadilly Circus, Hyde park to name a few.  Now am having a Guinness at Henry's bar just outside Green Park.  At least today I haven't been as worried and anxious, probably too tired and busy.  I better sleep tonight on the plane but that's probably when I will start worrying again.  Man are the street busy with people everywhere, this will prepare me for Addis.  I can't get over how all the men are wearing suits; not blazers and ties, not business casual but actual suits.  It looks really good.  Taking the train from Tower bridge to Oxford Circus I thought I was gonna die from the humidity. I am probably a little rank, maybe that's why no one is sitting next to me at the bar.  Weather toady low 20's and sunny most of the time but a couple of rain drops came down at around 3:00 PM.  I talked to Tammy earlier and hope that her drive went well.  I heard Josina in the background and I really miss them both!

I was walking down Regent Street and I swear that I so Colin Firth and Bridgette Jones. Actually most middle aged men in suits look like Colin Firth here.  To all you Royal watchers Lizzie wants to give a shout out to Canada!

One continent down and one to go.

Next post Africa!

Cool the barkeep won't let me pay!  Maybe I should have another.
