The London Tower, British Museum, and Cheese
Leaden Hall and the blokes having a pint of Guiness outside the pub.
London Tower with Tower Bridge in the background.
A lovely example of the vast amount of loot plundered by the Brits and on display at The British Museum.
British cheeses on sale at Neal’s Yard Dairy. Delicious stuff here.
More cheese…we bought some Kirkham’s Lancashire.
Last night we went to Ealing Common for a incredible dinner of sushi at a mom and pop establishment called Sushi Hiro. Very fresh, absolutely perfect sushi served just the way I like it…by the chef’s determination of what is best. Today we are somewhat worn out. The British Museum is huge and frankly I can only tolerate so many frigging grecian urns before I go insane.
Some observations:
- We’ve only seen a total of four children in restaurants.
- Brits use the f__ word in the newspaper and telly but consider the word “bloody” to be a swear word.
- Coke and Pepsi are often served in glass bottles. You know the kind we haven’t seen in the US since the 1980s.
- The Coke served here is made with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.
- Pubs have to be licensed for children (many aren’t).
- So many smokers…everywhere.
- There are pictures of naked women in the phone booths and newspapers.
It has been easy posting while on holiday. GHs laptop, my camera, wordpress and FTPing my photos to Bluehost have made it a simple process. We are loving our holiday and hope to be more adventurous tomorrow.
Cheers!
