Ah, London

[przed]

It's our third day in London, and I'm enjoying myself immensely, even if we are trying to cram too much into each day.

We saw Henry IV, Part 1 last night, and while it was good, it was by no means the best production of the play I've ever seen. Both Matthew Macfadyen and Michael Gambon took a while to warm up into their parts. That said, there were some stunningly good moments,like Hal and Falstaff taking turns at pretending to be the king, and Hal's confrontation with his father, and the fight choreography was outstanding. (Leave it to me to notice the swordplay.)

So far we've been to Greenwich, done a Jack the Ripper walk, done a bus tour of the city, hit the Carravaggio exhibit at the National Gallery (okay, that last one was just me, and it was stunning). Today is Westminster Abbey and, probably, Covent Garden before we pop off to the National for Henry IV, Part 2.

Tomorrow, I get to see llinos!

Sounds fabulous. Say hi to Don and his mom for me.

When do you guys get back? Going to have Movie Pool entries for me by Monday? I've gotten quite a few from your co-workers so far.

Have a fun trip.

I reckon we'll do the movie pool entries on the way home in the plane. So yeah, you should get them from us. (Glad some of the co-workers took up the challenge. We need more Canadians in the pool.)
