We made it to merry old England, and so did the monkey. None of us slept a wink on the plane, but it's not exactly our first all-nighter. Thus far, Monkey has enjoyed the British Museum, where he saw the Rosetta Stone and parts of the Parthenon. Thanks to Jack, we felt like quite the experts in the print room! Jack- is it Durer that did the angel print above the staircase?
Monkey took a stroll along the river Thames with views to Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster. He was quite confused by all that he saw in Tate Modern, especially the large square canvas painted grey that he was told was art. But the Picasso and Grosz were fabulous. Monkey finished his day with some fish, chips, and a pint- this he understood.
We put Monkey to bed and went out, first night to china town and around the theatre district. Last night, we saw a great punk show- Dogs- in Islington and then went to a fun club in Notting Hill.
Today, we are off to Rough Trade, T's favorite record store, and to the Victoria and Albert in S0uth Kensington. I am most excited that we'll be seeing Les Mis tonight- my very fave musical of all time. My mom can attest that seeing it here has been a life long dream!!
So we are happy and safe. Having the time of our lives. We miss you all and look forward to posting pics of Monkey at his next big stop, the Eiffel Tower. Note: That's Tori and Jay attached to the monkey-- they wanted to come along, too!
PS Our very sweet and talented photographer, Stacey Bode, was kind enough to post some incredible images from our wedding on her blog. Check it out- isn't she great??
