Katie comes to London

I had most of February to myself in London. I did fun things and loved life fully. I had the chance to visit Cambridge, I explored Soho, I toured Crystal Palace Park and in general took in London as much as possible. My February highlight was seeing Woody Haroldson in "Night of the Iguana". I had great seats and it was just wierd and totaly wonderful to see Woody kick some West End ass. I am still thinking about that play. It was so good. It was the first time i saw the work of T. Williams where I thought to myself "OK, now I get it".

In the first week of March, I enjoyed the much anticipated arrival of Katie, who somehow worked out a three month travel sabatical from work. Katie and I were planning to go to Ireland and kiss the Blarney Stone on our way to bike the Dingle Penninsyla two days after she arrived, but she had such a hard time getting through immigration that we decided not to risk leaving the country. Instead we hung out in Trafalgar Square, in Covent Garden we ate Mexican food and drank cocktails so sweet we named them "love cocktails" and we had a wonderful couple of London tourist days. Good times.

A week later my friend Monique arrived for her first ever out of the country holiday. We had an excellent weekend including a St. Patricks day festival in London. Monique, I hope, enjoyed her vacation and Katie and I enjoyed her company. Monique and I celebrated her European introduction with a weekend jaunt to Milan right before her depature. Pictures to follow.
