London, Day 2

Today was our second day in London. It’s too bad that we can’t get assigned here for a little while (with a suitable adjustment for cost of living 🙂 ). Today was a work day for me. I had an afternoon meeting, so we spent the morning sleeping-off the last of our jet lag and talking about the day, then I went off for my meeting and left Jenny to her own devices. She did a little exploring around the area, found a small grocery nearby and got some food for herself, and then read and did some cross-stitch until I got home. After my meeting, a bunch of us went to the pub, where we were treated to a bunch of drinks. Then one of the guys from the Netherlands suggested that we take a group and get some dinner, so some of us asked one of the Londoners we were with about local food, then walked across the street to the recommended curry place. There we were treated to heaps of good Indian food. Yum. By this time, it was rounding-up to 21:00, so we parted ways at the Underground and went off to our separate hotels.

Tomorrow is another work day for me with an all-day meeting. Jenny is planning to head over to the Houses of Parliament in Westminster and do some exploring over there during the day. I’m not sure what tomorrow night holds yet. I might be dining with work-related folks if any are getting together and it is appropriate for me to be there. If not, I’ll meet-up with Jenny and we’ll head for a local gastro-pub or somewhere to get some good dinner and kick-off the rest of our little mini-vacation.
