Reunited and it feels so good!

Ethan made the flight successfully across the pond and reunited with me at around 11 am local time.  I couldn't be more impressed - he figured out the London bus and tube system before I did.

After getting settled in, we headed out for a spot of lunch.....

Fish and Chips, Baby!

Then, we headed into the neighborhood known as "The City."  Ethan's overseas office is near the Central Bank and Exchange in a very nice section of London.  He is already set up in the office with a spot to work and is reconnecting with colleagues.

We then headed to St. Paul's Cathedral...

It's kind of impressive, don't you think?

After touring the inside - lots of famous people are buried there - we wandered over to the nearby Millennium Bridge.

Love the panorama feature on my camera!

Then, off to our first London dinner at Albion, which specializes in fresh, well-done British food.  Our selections: Barnesley Chop (lamb) with mushrooms, cress, and a roasted tomato, Kedgeree (a curry, fish, and rice dish left over from "the days of the Raj" as our server told us), and a side of Cauliflower Cheese (I could have taken a swim in the sauce).  We had beer and cider to drink and Eton mess for dessert.  It was yummy, the service was excellent, and, for London, it wasn't too expensive. 

Shortly after taking this picture, Ethan succumbed to jetlag and we made a bee-line for our flat.  He initially fell asleep with shoes still on...don't worry, Karen, I woke him so that he could brush his teeth.

On the docket for tomorrow: National Gallery for Emily, work for Ethan!
