TRAVEL | London Love: Be mine?!

Just back from a surprise getaway to London with Kamsing.
London is one of our favorite city in Europe.
We spend three days non-stop in the shopping streets, luckily Kamsing loves shopping as well.
It was also a non-stop delicious food parade for breakfast, lunch, dinner and some snacks in between...
..
Here are some photos of sweet comfort food and a preview of what's new in my closet for this spring!
Be mine?!

Highlights of London

Here are some highlights of our four days in London.Thames River CruiseOne of the most enjoyable experiences we had in London was an afternoon cruise in the sunshine down the Thames River, from the Embankment Pier to the Tower Bridge. It wasn't a fancy cruise, just a river taxi that is marketed as an extension of the London Underground. But it was really fun and an efficient way to get us to the

Leaving London

Another long, busy and fun day in London today, mostly spent in museums and doing a foot-numbing amount of walking. I walked over an hour west - which took me through Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Chinatown, Green Park, and a quick stop at Harrod's - to visit the new Medieval & Renaissance galleries in the V&A. It was wonderful and totally worth the pilgrimage - but I did

Brief Greetings from London

I am happy to report that my laptop now has a brand-new hard drive and is working well - a big thanks to David for that! I'll try to finally post some photos tomorrow or the next day. Briefly, though, we had a really great time in Oxford. We had beautiful sunny weather both days, stayed in a former prison in the Oxford Castle, and visited some old favorite places. I especially had a wonderful

London Day 2 in Pictures

On Thursday we took another marathon walk through a remarkably sunny London. This time we started with Kings Road in Chelsea, which is one of my favorite areas of London (despite a lack of historic churches). We did some good window shopping at wonderful stores like Muji and Molton Brown.Muji store windowThen we looked for a place to have a late breakfast since it wasn't included at our posh

London Day 1 in Pictures

Happy Black Friday! I hope no one hurt themselves out shopping today!So, to begin the promised details of London. On our first full day in the city (Wednesday), it was cloudy starting out but beautifully blue the rest of the day. We followed a walking route we've taken before and like very much, and we had such a great time looking around and taking pictures. The only downside is that we

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Turkey Day! It is also David's birthday today and we had a really fun day of celebration, walking all over London for a second day in a row. We had beautiful sunny weather yesterday, and some good sunbreaks today. I'm too beat to do a full post tonight, but hope to catch up tomorrow night when we're living the quieter life in Oxford. Enjoy your turkey and eat some sweet potatoes for us!

London: Greenwich and Kensington

I'm happy to report we made it successfully across London without any damage to the car or the nerves of the occupants. It took us about an hour to drive nine miles from the east side to the west side, but it was never gridlocked and just a lot of traffic lights. We are now comfortably settled in the Parkcity Hotel in Kensington, which we've stayed in before and really, really like.Big TV, too!

The O2 Premiere in London

Back in 2000, London put on a big celebration of the millennium. Most of the additions to the city were built to last and can still be seen today, including: the Millennium Wheel, the Millenium Bridge...and the Millennium Dome. This one is basically a big tent 365m in diameter (to represent the days of the year) that's held up by steel cables and 12 support towers (one for each month of the year

Sunday in London

Sunday morning we had a full English breakfast in the restaurant of our hotel. It was quite good, but not super-fabulous. We checked out (despite having very strong thoughts of staying another night), left our bags behind the counter, and set off for another day's exploring. Unfortunately, the blue sky and sunshine were no more, so the pictures aren't as pretty. But at least it didn't rain on

Saturday in London 2

After lunch we headed out to check out some museums. Along the way, we passed a couple good photo opportunities for my websites, including an architecturally interesting Mormon church: and a Christian Science Reading Room (below). The book in the window is Science and Health with a Key to the Scriptures by the founder Mary Baker Eddy, the main text of Christian Science besides the Bible.

Saturday in London 1

We had a fantastic time in London over the weekend. The transportation went amazingly smoothly for the UK, the hotel was great, the sights were interesting and different (only one church!), and the food was delicious. We explored two big museums, visited Harrods, saw a movie in Leicester Square, ate at Wagamama twice, and celebrated Chinese New Year with about a million other people. We are sorry
