My Trip to London

WICKED!!!

Kathy and I stood in line at the theater for an hour waiting for front row seats for a Saturday night performance to Wicked and WE GOT THEM!!! For only 25 pounds ($37.50). Ron, Kathy and I walked the short distance to the theater and enjoyed an amazing play. We could see there forehead microphones, their expressions, etc. I had wanted to see Wicked since my voice teacher back in Fresno had me sing Popular. I had the opportunity to go to San Francisco to see it, but I was too cheap to pay the $185 for the bus trip up and a ticket, so I flew all the way to London to see it (she chuckles...).

Speaking of WICKED - check out those sunglasses!!! I didn't buy them...

My Trip to London

Greenwich

You walk all over and you tend to get a bit hungry. We couldn't pass up trying this pizza - the center is cut out and salad is placed in the middle. I predict it will come to America...

I like the reflection of the cranes and building in the glass.

The park was huge and since it was a warm day, many people were out on the grass enjoying the wonderful weather.

Beautiful building!!!

My London Trip

Borough Market
Borough Market is London's oldest food market. It was established on the south bank of the Thames when the Romans built the first London Bridge. It has occupied its present site for 250 years.

I'd never seen this before - the guy heated the cheese under a flame and then 'sliced' it off onto bread.

Open-air Brownies

Glorious cheese

Fun way to display chocolate.

Interesting displays - love the old time look.

Outside of a flower shop

Samples anyone?

The sign reads - if our fish were any fresher, you would have to slap it.

Wild asparagus - I've never seen that before...

The market was really a feast for the eyes and the photographer.

I don't know about you, but juices aren't served like this in my town!

Pom poms are back in!!!

We took a relaxing boat ride down the Thames to Greenwich.


This huge stuffed gorilla made me chuckle.

The London Eye

Yup, that's me and Big Ben.

I told Kathy I like architecture - beauty was everywhere I turned.

Thought this was interesting...

10 Downing Street

The clouds were spectacular!
