The holidays have been a very good time! My family came to London to spend Christmas and New Years with me :) We kept a steady pace, exploring a lot of England in a two week period. J&J, with their usual curiosity and energy, wanted to see all that they could while on holiday here. We went to parts of London that I had not yet been! It meant I wasn't a very efficient tour guide, but they extended much grace! We explored at least a dozen museums and galleries, ate entirely too many servings of fish and chips with Toblerone for dessert, flew the Eye, wandered through Portobello and Camden Town markets, saw a Christmas performance at the Globe, glimpsed the White Cliffs of Dover, and so much more...
It has been great to get to show my family a bit of my life here in London. They realize now that I'm not just complaining when I say its been cold! They experienced London transport, when it works well and when it....doesn't. My mom was able to join in on some of my English classes before term ended and meet the women who are my friends and students. All in all, its been a good start to 2010 :)
