best laid plans - Foyle'd!

Actually, that was the plan. After an in depth and interesting tour of Westminster Abbey we tracked down and spent the afternoon at Foyles, an excellent bookstore here in London. Oh the joy and wonder of sitting the midst of 5 levels of English language books!!! After the scarcity and inflated prices of English books we've been exposed to for the past few years, this was like a little bit of heaven.

This was followed by a quick lunch and then a leisurely meet-up with a few of Mom's friends from Berkeley who had been part of the group traveling together through Wales. We journeyed through the British Museum and then on to quick dinner off of Charlotte St... quick so we could get over to Victoria Station and drop Coral to meet up with her friends - apparently the senior class is here on their senior trip right now, and they dropped her a line or two asking her to join them for a late night on the city...

It's now 12:23 and she's arrived back at our hotel, escorted by one of her teachers... from the sounds of it, Mom is sleeping quite peacefully (and soundly) in her bed, Coral is next to me working on her homework, and I am about to fall asleep. Therefore I am wishing all of you a good night and sweet dreams.

The plan for tomorrow - Portobello Road (I love Angela Lansbury and Bedknobs and Broomsticks!), Kensington Palace and then Harrods... and for the evening - another West End show... Billy Elliot (love that movie, too).
