On Friday in Amsterdam my family and I went to Keukenhoff, world renowned gardens (mostly tulips). It was beautiful all day and we all thoroughly enjoyed the windmills, flowers, and sunshine.
We have finally settled in here in London. Our house is great with three bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, living room, and a great garden. We got in to East Finchley on Saturday and yesterday we met up with our friend for lunch, who lives in North London. We walked around our downtown after lunch yesterday and we got a birthday cake for myself. There is a decently sized church downtown and there is another church which has turned into a pub. Very British...
We came to the Madison House this morning - we are figuring out everything that we don't know already. It took about a 50 minute tube ride to get here, and everyone else in the world was going to work the same time we left our house. It was fine, though - there is a lot of city stuff to get used to. My mom, sister, and I have walked around the area of London where Madison House is situated. Surprisingly, it is clear out today with very few clouds. It won't last for long. Tonight we are all going out to see the musical Wicked for my birthday! I will try to post some pictures soon - I know I've already said that... But I will try to post some soon.
I am looking forward to getting to know London a bit more! Cheers.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! We miss you so much!!! Especially Alex, Emily, Evi, and Joy. Math is so boring without you. We hope you have an amazing day! We're all jealous that you're having fun and we're in Harrisonburg. :)))))) <3 and Mr. Good says "hi" too! Love youuu.

Thanks for the notes - who wrote the first one?!? I'm guessing Emily or Alex. Anyway, thanks for the note.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Eberly for the birthday wish. Yes, I did get to celebrate by going to Wicked and having cake.
Katherine, no I have not seen Wicked before. It was brilliant! If you ever get a chance to wee it, do.
I saw wicked two or three years ago in Norfolk and LOVED it but I would love to see it again because of all the details. Gives a whole new way of looking at the Wizard of Oz. glad that you enjoyed it!!

Hey Evan,
ReplyDeleteIt's 95 degrees here in the 'burg as we try to concentrate on getting the school year finished. I thought of you as I counted how many seats I need to give my Earth Science final. I hope you are well, and filling your day with delightful things to do, see, and eat. Please say hello to your folks for me. Mr. Good
Mr. Good - wow, the weather sounds intense! It is about 20 C here, which is actually pretty nice. I have had numerous teas w/ scones and clotted cream - it was great. Hope the exams go well!
