Thank you for great tour. Where are you staying?
My fave food in London: Indian. Spanish tapas also good.
What have you discovered food-wise?
\"Probably the airplanes will bring week-enders from Los Angeles before long, and the beautiful poor bedraggled old town will bloom with a
Floridian ugliness.\" (John Steinbeck, 1940, discussing the future of La Paz, BCS, Mexico)

we ate homecooked food mostly at the farm in Somerset
when we ventured to pubs - for lunch we ate Gammon (sp?) and it was delicious! when we ate breakfast, we ordered the traditional English breakfast
of sausage, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, a baked tomato and baked beans- ohhhhhhhhhhhhh so good
in London, we ate Italian at Jamie Oliver's restaurant! I had gnocci and it was great. He has something like 46 places around the world and just
opened in Hong Kong and Sao Paulom Brazil. Home base is London and he had just been there the week before.
