Tourism begins

So today while sitting at a pub I noticed 4 different people in running clothes running with backpacks. I wonder if they went to work, changed and ran home?

I have also noticed that a lot of women wear really short skirts and boots. Sometimes together, but not always. And a lot of Ugg wearers. I thought about bringing mine. But I didn't want to bring too many pairs of shoes--so I settled for tennies and docs.

Today Curt and I went to Harrod's. We had lunch there. They have a type of food court called a food hall. It is like a food court but much fancier and not fast foody at all. Curt and I shared a seafood platter. It was really good. Then we did some walking around. We ventured through the sports and leisure sports clothing department. We were cracking up. When I think of sports and leisure I think REI. Sports and leisure at Harrod's is polo, tennis, crocket, etc. Very snobby. We did have a cappucino at a little cafe in the sports and leisure department. You can pretty much have a coffee or beer any where around here. We never did find the cheesy statue of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed and there was no way we were going to ask. 

(There is a show on called Embarrassing Bodies. And they show everything. No matter the doctor's exam we get to see it. "What may be embarrassing to you is all in a day's work to me," one doctor on the show is quoted saying.)

After Harrod's we did some more walking around. We found a little outdoor cafe to have a snack and drink. Then a little more wandering and a stop at the Angel & Crown pub. We did some people watching, heard an annoying drunk guy sing "She's lost that loving feeling." After the pub we found an Italian Restaurant to have pasta for dinner. The food was really good. Their service was a little lacking.

Tomorrow we are having lunch with a Macworld UK friend. Then tomorrow night drinks with some other Macworld UK friends. They want us to come see their new offices and then out for the night. Should be fun. Get to hang out with my twin, Karen. We share the same birthdate.

Now just a little lying around the hotel room and maybe some tea. Curt bought us some more biscuits (cookies) last night.

Apparently it is national blog commenting day. So please comment, especially if you've NEVER commented. I love to hear from my readers. I am still surprised when I find out people read my blog--they are usually the ones who NEVER comment. So how would I know they read my blog? Yes, this is a cheap ploy to get comments. But c'mon, I am in London on my vacation keeping you all updated. Help a girl out! And while you are at it click on an ad to make me some moola.
