May 27: Day 1 London Complete

After a short overseas flight, we arrived in Heathrow where everyone -- not just the airline stewardesses spoke in the Mary Poppins accent we most dearly love. We were warmly welcomed by blackberry messages (bbm for short) from Gretchen's friend, Jenna, who kindly is allowing us to hang out with her while we are in town. Her apartment (which I have already told her numerous times) is beautiful and we are lucky to have a great place to crash. Gretchen and I dropped out luggage and decided to venture out to take the 3 mile waking tour of London, but, well, we obvious got lost, and made our own tour of the day. After downing two expresso drinks, we saw the London Tower, London Bridge, Tate Modern, and dropped in to see a glimpse of a performance at the Globe Theatre.

Jenna arranged for us to eat some sushi and then had reserved tickets for the premiere of Sex and City the Movie (definitely worth seeing). Taking it easy tonight and stomping some more London Ground tomorrow.
