We spent maybe an hour walking to Abbey Road, and then another fifteen minutes debating whether or not we were at the right end of the street. We started out to the other end of the road just to be sure but after several blocks the weather won - we decided to trust the small group of tourists blocking traffic at the closer end and call it a day. Later we discovered that we were at the correct place and that we don't know as much about our Beatles covers as we should.
We were out walking in the typical afternoon drizzle and all of the sudden the clouds cleared a bit and the sun shone through. We had been waiting for the perfect weather all week to go on the London Eye, not the best strategy in this city, so we dashed over and got in line. It was a bit long, but when we got through the sun was still there - and then they ushered us into the 4D experience (in case you have 3D glasses on hand) very much against my will. Apparently its not a free bonus, its a crowd diffuser.
It was partly cloudy the whole way up and then mostly cloudy and drizzling on the way down, but I am so glad we ended up going. The view was pretty clear, even with the sub-par whether, and it was nice to share something new to both of us.
Neither of us is very photogenic, Ryan doesn't ask strangers for photos and I don't like to, and I never got very into myspace - in other words, this is the money shot for the week.Notice my scarf? Apparently, he's not just a good driver. He spotted it in a vintage shop buried under other not-so-pretty ones at the Camden Markets for a very good price, and you all know how I am about scarves.
We finished up the week with Avenue Q, a muppet musical. Which sounds so absolutely terrible, but I thought it was funny and Ryan actually didn't mind it. Win.Link to all of our pictures.
sounds like a successful visit!
ReplyDeletep.s. do lots of british people watch skins? i love it so much. i think they are going to have a US version of skins on MTV but the british cast is boycotting it.
I think a lot of people here watch Skins, but pretend that they don't. It's sort of a guilty pleasure for them, maybe.
ReplyDeleteso many of the pictures in this entry are awesome. I took ur photo inclusion idea and used it in my blog, i'm sure u noticed, but i thought i'd credit u (and also amelia) since i only read like 3 blogs anyway... I hope march flies so i can see u sooner :(
ReplyDeleteon another note, i dont think skins should be stolen by the US. why cant we just love and watch the british one? dont get me wrong though, i love american office, just watsup with us hijacking all these ideas? still writers-strike writing block?
