Cheerio to all,
Matt and I arrived in London late last night in the beeeeeautiful heathrow airport...note the sarcasm (editors note: Heathrow is fine, I don't get it). After a good nights rest thanks to Jan's surefire tylenol PM Matt and I went off on our first European adventure. It was really pleasent actually, we rode a two story bus (top story of course) through central london..picadilly..baker street(Go Holmes!) and trafalger square till we reached Covent Gardens for a light lunch. The tiny restuarant owner, not that he was a tiny man, just small restaurant was Portuguese and Praying for rain so that he could walk his son to the Simpsons movie in 3D about 20min away. All and all, pretty hilarious. So we carried on to the British Museum and saw the Rosetta Stone (allllll right) and some cool egyptian mummies, ancient European astrological instruments and such..all pretty awesome. Finally, my feet were sore and we were both a bit worn our so we took the tube back to John's house...who is, by the way, amazing. One of the nicest men I've met and so generous. His house in St. John's Wood is gorgeous - he is an architect and from what it sounds, is very succesful...cool company paid surprise vacations to Prague and such - anywho. He cooked us a traditional dinner tonight. A starter of fresh cantalope followed by some kind of lamb (first time I've enjoyed it) with roasted potates and garlic greenbeans and wine...followed by some delicious cheeses and british crackers and more wine and finally finished off with fresh strawberries and cream....hard to beat in any five star restaurant...I'm just debating what to cook for him! Anywho, tomorrow we're off to Parliment, Westminster Abby, the Tate Modern and maybe some theatre at the Globe or some such. I'm not sure how regularly we'll be e-mailing once we're away from daily access but I'd love to hear from everybody...see what you're up to. Also, we've got a pretty hilarious and sometimes silly blog for our trip at mattandemilyadventures.blogspot.com...(editors note: you already know this) either way check it out...especially ben...we've got lobby featured prominantly...also, I need joel's email address. Thanks everybody...forward this on to all who would be interested and I don't have their emails...nicole included..THANKS!!!!
Love to All

Editors PS: I made it through the new Harry Potter without anyone spoiling the ending for me! London is sweet. Talk to you all soon! Matt
