It was a challenge, but we managed to stay up until 10:30pm last night, watching Graham Norton after seeing the play “3 Days of Rain,” which I really enjoyed.
From the window of our cozy hotel room you can see a sliver of the billboards in Picadilly Circus (think a miniature Times Square), as well as the London Eye (where I think we’ll start things off today.)
True to form, I popped awake at 4:30 - and I’m amazed that the habit managed to find me on the other side of the world! We skipped dinner last night after eating all day (or so it seemed) so I’m famished.
We’re hopefully going to meet up with a couple friends for a pint this afternoon, dinner with Tania, then off to see “The Mousetrap” for it’s eighty millionth performance. (Not really, but it has been running forever.)
We did run into a surprise yesterday when we walked into a square where they were filming a huge crowd of people for an upcoming mobile phone commercial. A huge LED screen was set up and there were dozens and dozens of microphones handed out in the crowd… Then they played Karaoke tracks and the whole crowd was singing evrrything from Beatles to Britney. It was pretty wild!
That’s it for now!
