After finishing up a nightmare of a work project in London over the past month, Reuben and I took a few days to tour the queen's city. It had been 15 years since I had been to London, and I forgot how BIG this city is. This time around I got away from Piccadilly Circus and Planet Hollywood... completely different experience. In addition to Westminster, Big Ben and all the favorites, we hit the Tate Modern, Borough and Spitalfields Markets (Best Jerk sandwiches ever in the Spitalfields area - see sidebar), the West End for a production of Billy Elliot, and Greenwich. We had pints in Notting Hill and witnessed a near family brawl at an Italian restaurant in Covent Garden. Excellent! Unfortunately all of the walking nearly crippled us and didn't do anything for my recovery from the project - thank goodness next weekend is Spain.
