It felt good to be back, almost like we'd been on an extended holiday and had just returned. We were able to pick up right where we left off w/ all of our dear friends. Time was short, so we didn't get to see everyone, but we absolutely made the most of it!
We spent many hours in Paddington Park, Hanks old stomping ground
A perfect (enclosed) area for Levi to run and be free
We biked through Hyde Park
On a side note, London installed bikes all around the city just as Paris did a few years ago, which is so brilliant
Visited the Flower Boys new shop
and caught up w/ boys themselves! Simon (one of the flower boys) is recovering from a 2 heart attacks this year...so we just felt lucky to hug him
We people watched
and took time out to relax from all the walking we did
We enjoyed the black cabs, which is such a treat in comparison to US taxis
We even got to celebrate Ulrik's birthday and one of London's yummiest restaurants
I was able to spend quite a bit of time w/ Maureen and Kristi, which was a definite highlight
We took full advantage of rickshaws
We managed to squeeze in a night of drinks w/ old friends, which was just easy and fun (Helen who helped me survive my early MySpace days in London made a cameo)
Our dear friend Carmela and her beau Darren made it (who's not featured)
Ulrik and his other half Maureen, joined by Ben 'the best trainer in London' and his lovely wife Rebecca popped by
One of the greatest highlights was visiting w/ Mama Manjola, who began watching Levi when he was just 8 weeks old (oh how we miss her)
A special treat was meeting her new baby (#4)
It wouldn't be a visit to London, with out seeing the White Family
Freddie kept Levi entertained
for quite some time!
All in all, it was just so amazing to be back in the city where we began our adventures of being married and had little Levi
