Mon Aventure

I've been trotting the globe for over a month now, but I'm back in Geneva and we can finally sit here and have a proper chat.  As we talk, a bee occasionally flies around my head.  Our windows don't have screens, so every creature that flies feels welcome in my apartment during summer.  I like it and I don't like it.  Occasionally I find bird poop on a table.  I'm not sure whether to be bothered by the bird poop or charmed that a bird was in my apartment.

Since my last post we've celebrated our 10th Anniversary at a Resort in Virginia, spent nearly 3 weeks at home visiting his family and my family and we've played the tourist in London.  London is freshest in my mind because we were in London only 2 days ago, so lets work backwards and talk about London first.....

We saw and did many touristy things... the National Gallery, Buckingham Palace, Harrods, The Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral... but I think our fondest memory, when we look back on this trip, will be the fun we had exploring and just being together.  Running through the rain to the safety of a coffee shop, drinking a beer or two at a Pub and laughing more than usual afterwards on the way to Buckingham Palace, and even fussing at eachother about nothing when we were tired, hungery or needed to pee.

If you ever go to London, DON'T spend money on "Churchill's War Experience." Our first clue should have been that it was not listed as one of the 50 things to see on the bus route. It smelled bad and was more like a haunted house than anything else. So cheesy.


I think Buckingham Palace was Chris' favorite, I'm not sure.  But for me, it was a big deal to buy tea from Harrods. 

I'm hard pressed to decide which I liked better: the National Gallery, or getting my very own Paddington Bear from Paddington Station.  I'll talk about the National Gallery in a separate post, but here is Paddington Bear...
