London: Day 2 and 3

Yesterday, I woke up at 4:00 am and made it until 9:00, at which point I fell asleep for four hours. It was delightful. Then I made my way in the rain to the tube to pick up our theatre tickets. Some person had been run over by a train on the Picadilly line, so i had to switch trains and wander all over to gte back home. We went to the portrait gallery, then had Italian for dinner and ended te night with Spamalot, which was Heeee-larious! Lancalot was gay...in the show, and a total hotty. Gwenivere was great, and mocked Celine Dion with much enthusiasm. There was even a fish slapping song about Sweden. Then we walked the half-mile home, which took over 20 minutes because my mom's foot is so messed up from a fall she had over a month ago. I went to sleep, woke up at 3:30 am, but after an hour fell back asleep, winning me the award for most awake in the Guertin family today.

Today, breakfast at the hotel after admiring the totally cute concierges (Robert and ?? with two names) as dad gave them tasks. LOVE them both...so cute! Then we headed off to the Monet exhibit at another museum. It was almost all made u of his sketches and pastels. He also used to do characatures of people, and made lots of money at it. He said if he'd stuck at it, he would have been a millionaire. The irony. Then we went to the Eye, where I got sort of motion sick, but it was very cool to see the city, and the technology of the Eye itself was fairly amazing too. Next, we went to a book store, dept. store, adn the park, and finshed the afternoon off with tea at the Lanesburough. Fabulous, daaling! Back at the hotel, parents tooka four hour nap and I slept for 2, finished my book, showered, adn then met up with them for dinner across the street. Waiter looked like an Iralian Hugh Grant. I could barely understand him, but it didn't much matter. I just smiled and admired him. I had a banana toffee cheesecake that was to die for, and now we're back at the hotel, preparing to be tired enough to get some sleep before we head off to Kew Gardens tomorrow. Then, it's off to Switzerland on Thursday am. Hurray!
