London Saturday December 5th

Confused Santa and Brad!

The German Market

Thriller Live

Global Warming Protest



Our Studio Apartment

Brad and I headed to London on Saturday to see a show and to hit some German Christmas Markets. We got to London, found where we were staying and checked in. It was strange to say the least. We were asked if we were from Israel. Do we look like we are? I was so confused I just looked at the guy. We then got our keys, went to our apartment and found keys in the door. It was a bit strange but in the end it was just fine. We then headed to Hard Rock Cafe for some "American" cuisine. For us over here it is as close as it gets. Leaving there satisfied, we headed to the Lyric Theatre near Picadilly Circus for Thriller Live. As we were walking we ran into a protest. We had been warned by the government that it would be going on. We did not seek it out, I promise, we seriously walked right into it. We then made it through the protest to the theatre. The show was a phenomenal Michael Jackson tribute show that included a wonderful variety of music. We listened and watched as performers sang and danced to Beat It, Man in the Mirror, Billy Jean, Want to Be Starting Something, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, ABC and other classic Jackson Five, of course Thriller and many more. When we got out of the Theatre it was raining. We walked all the way from Picadilly Circus down Regent Street to Oxford Circus and eventually made it to our destination, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. We walked the long way because we wanted to see all the holiday decorations and the hustle and bustle of the city. Ok it was Me who wanted to see it, Brad not so much, but we got him a beer on the way and he was HAPPY. Winter Wonderland was incredible. It was much larger than we remember last year. We enjoyed a German sausage, pretzel, beer, mulled wine and crapes. After a couple of hours we were tired and soaked. We headed back to our studio apartment for a long night of restless sleep.
