First day: London

So we spent our day getting acquainted with the Tube, London's train system, what we call the L. We tried to go to a couple. Different places that we'd found online at the first Internet cafe: they were closed. Apparently, a great many small restaurants and such are closed on Sunday here. Lesson learned: while going Internet research, double-check the hours! 

We stumbled on a restaurant listed in my Top 10 London book- 

And had pea soup and tapas there. Note the meat hanging in the window. How is one supposed to react to that? I'm I'm the "that's cool" camp. 

At a pub we stopped at for dinner aft some more extensive Internet research to book some other parts of our trip, we had some English classics: bangers & mash and fish & chips. I didn't take pics... Before I knew it they were gone!  We were starving! Believe it or not we say next to some people from Chicago. Small world. They were also having "fun" ironing out details of their travels.

I'll say that Suman and I decided we might not make all the stops in our summer trip we were originally hoping for...  And we'll be ok with that if that is the case.

I should really be asleep right now since it's 11:23pm London time, I have slept more than an hour last night, and we're waking up at 3:30am to catch an early flight to Marrakech! But I'm so jazzed, I can't sleep! Wish me luck for tomorrow's adventure! We'll return for more of London at the end of the travels :-)
