I'm slacking...

  Tuesday I didn't do much-- Paris recovery and WICKED!  Chris and I went for supper at this great place that was all chicken.  Then hit up the theatre and saw Wicked, finally.  I've wanted to see this for so long!  The show was fantastic, despite having to stop the production after the third number for a few minutes to fix some technical malfunction that was making a loud noise... The pic i've posted is of the main screen, a map of Oz highlighting the Emerald City.
Wednesday I was back in action-- got up and tubed to Kensington High Street to shop.
  However, I didn't really find anything to buy--strange I know.  But, even on sale, stuff here is SO expensive when you convert the money back to Canadian, and I haven't found anything I couldn't get at home.  I'm going to hit up some more places tomorrow in a last ditch shopping effort, but it isn't looking good.


Instead, I walked through Kensington and Hyde parks, down to Green Park and Buckingham
 Palace, then over to Whitehall, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.  It ended up being a day of
 signtseeing and walking for 7 hrs.  So sore.
  (Thursday has been a somewhat recovery day too... chillin til Cirque du Soleil!)  It was a perfect English day-- damp, cool and foggy.  Looked like Halifax.  

Today is also cool and foggy... I am heading out to check out some more stores, and Chris and I are heading over to Royal Albert Hall to see CIrque du Soleil's Quidam tonight!
