Jolly Good London

After a full (very full) day of traveling we have arrived in London for our last 2 nights before heading to Africa.  I can’t tell you much about the day because I slept through most of it.  Yesterday and today have been rough morning (all day) sickness days but I’m feeling much better now.  I don’t know why it intensifies here and there like that.  I’ll be glad when this part is over.  (It does end, right?)

So, after 2 long train rides we made it to London and briefly saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the London Eye as we traveled to our hotel.  We got settled, ate dinner in the hotel restaurant, and are now in for the night.  Believe it or not I need more sleep.  :)

As far as dinner goes, I decided to be risky and ordered the salmon fishcakes with tartare sauce.  Remember what tartare is in French?  Raw.  I was just hoping that tartare in England was the same as tartar in the U.S.  Thankfully, it was!

I’ll try to update you more while we’re here and actually have a reasonable (and free) internet connection.  Cheers!

    Ha! I’m just getting a kick out of imagining what “raw sauce” would be…

    LOL! Well, you just never know, right? There’s no telling what a chef may come up with. :)
