London Calling



















This year I can't seem to stay put for more than a month--Alyce and I are heading over to London for a few days.

I've been to London a handful of times, but it has been years since my last visit. It will always be damp and chilly (and expensive) in my memories--I think the last time I went I came down with a bad cold too. Other than that, I remember being scared of the giant ravens at the Tower of London, the Tate Gallery, 221B Baker Street and Marks & Spencer. Now they have that big ferris wheel!

On the list of things to do/see: TopShop, Marks & Spencer, Tate Modern, Victoria & Albert Museum, finding a red Brio train for Elliott, eating good Indian food and fish & chips. Oh, and maybe a little Christmas shopping. While not spending our entire life savings.

I may also try to acquire a taste for beer.
