Last Train to London
We spent Angie's last full day in the UK in rainy London. We started with a nice breakfast that would have been nicer if we were still in smoke-free Wales, but England is a bit behind when it comes to consumer comforts and we ate amongst some of those who prefer a cigarette to eggs at 8am. I digress. After breakfast we went to the British Museum (pictured above from the Great Hall) to see the new exhibit A New World: England's First View of America, featuring the works of John White. White was an Elizabethan artist who accompanied 5 expeditions to the New World and whose watercolors gave the English a glimpse of life on the other side of the pond; it made for a very interesting look at American history. After the museum we went to our first 'show' in London, Spamalot. A colorful rendition of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot gave us a good laugh and a different look at one of our favorite movies. After the show it was off to Paddington Station where Angie went to Gatwick to catch her flight and I went back to Swansea. We'll meet back in London next weekend and fly together to Miami to visit Angie's family and leave the UK behind.
