at the end of the day....

We have been in London for about 52 hours as of this posting. Tonight we are seeing one of my favorite plays of all time, Les Miserables. Woot! We landed in Luton on Wednesday early enough to make the matinee of The Producers which was wonderful. That night I saw Hedda Gabler without Debby and the girls. They got the better end of the deal. Dry, slow and boring. Yesterday after walking around Buckingham Palace, St. James Park and going into Westminster Abbey, we caught the matinee of Mary Poppins. Absolutely terrific. All agreed that it is a must see. Then last night after dim sum in Chinatown we caught The Big Life. Fun and campy, but I was tired and did not enjoy it as much as I would have had I been more awake. Today we toured central London by double-decker bus and saw the big ticket sights including the London Eye which we went on. Also hit the Thames on a river cruise. Tower Bridge is a sight along with Big Ben and Parliment. What a city. Home Sunday. Cheers!
