London Town

Ahh, more lovely weather in the British Isles. Thank goodness the weather is incredibly erratic so although we were swamped with rain one minute, it was bright and sunny the next.

This will be our final post as tourists. I can't believe it. We basically decided to avoid all of the typical tourist spots and opted to slowly stroll the streets and enjoy London at a leisurely pace. 

First stop, Alfie's Antiques. I could have stayed here for hours. Amazing antiques. Great great fun.

I love this. Only in London.

Elizabeth, Amy and Marilyn in Notting Hill. 

Very cool and very fun Brick Lane and Sunday Up Markets. Hipster central.

And may the reunions begin! Alex and I had an awesome dinner with our friend Lauren Collins, one of my dear friends from NYC. Lauren is amazing and hilarious and (as we dined on middle fat) entertained us with some of her own stories of globetrotting with Donatella.

Great to see you Lauren!

The next night we caught up with our great friends Maria and Stephen who we met in Xi'an, China. It was so great to see them again and catch up on the rest of their travels and get some advice on re-entry.

After dinner they took us on a drive through London, by the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and to see some local color outside of the Battersea Power Plant.

Y'ALL, awesome to see you again! Thanks so much for dinner, keep in touch and we hope to see you again soon!

I thought this would be the perfect picture to end on....dog lounging on a quiet street corner outside of Spitalfields Market.

It made our day.
