From Abroad

Ok so here is my unbelievable story…............

Last night we had a dinner in Covent Garden. After dinner, as we were walking to the tube, we passed the Duke of York’s Theatre. Right now “In Celebration” is showing, starring Orlando Bloom. So we waited by the back door with a crowd of people (we were in the second row) and I totally got his autograph!!!! He came out and I handed him 2 programs and he signed them both and then I touched his arm…...some of you readers may not think this is a big deal, but trust me…...it is. I am a huge Pirates fan so basically last night was the best night of my life :-) lol. Oh and I also took a program from a lady behind me and got him to sign that one as well. I definitely have some good karma coming my way for doing that. I’m going to go back next Tuesday and get some more autographs and pictures…no I am not obsessive….just dedicated. haha! Ok that was probably the most I’ll reveal of my weirdness throughout all of these blogs….back to normalcy.

This picture is not zoomed at all….that is how close I was.

Then today after work some of us met up in Westminster and took a ride on The Eye. It was about a 25 minute ride and you really can see the whole of London. It was well worth the time. It is very similar to the wheel at Navy Pier in Chicago except much bigger and completely enclosed. We were there right when the sun was at the beginning stages of setting so it was really good lighting. At one point in the ride they take your picture (like on a rollercoaster). Ours turned out really well so we all got a copy of it. It was 2 for 10 pounds (about $10 per person) so it wasn’t too expensive.




That is all the excitement for the last two days.
