Sightseeing and Job Seeking

Greetings friends.... second weekend down and everyday we feel more and more official.

(Picture here of the horseguards at the PM house... no smiles from him.)

On Saturday we did what every self respecting Londoner stays far far away from.... we boarded a bright red double decker sightseeing bus and went for a 2 hour spin around this fine city. It was fun, a fine old English chap pointed out the sights, referenced various meanings behind design and placement, and told us all about the great fire of 1666.

Most of you know JP and I to be brilliant planners, but in this instance, we failed to charge the camera battery. That meant that the first 15 minutes of our day was photographed, and the rest committed to memories that we can share with the literal word. I will say, it was super fun and something that you must do when you are here. You really do see all the sights and do it much faster than it takes to walk this city. (Picture here is of the Tower Bridge from our rooftop seat)

We also visited the famous Borough Market (http://www.boroughmarket.org.uk/) and walked around the maze of yummy goodness- you name it, this place had it. We plan on going back with an empty stomach next time.

Yesterday some of the GEP (Global Exchange Program) wives (or, as they affectionately call us- the "trailing spouses") took a field trip to Harrods and browsed around. It was fabulously busy and fun and beautiful. I can't wait to see it at Christmas!

For me, this week will include much of the same- job hunting! I have some interviews lined up, and there are plenty of opportunities out there. Things here just take more time than I am used to.

Until next time my friends... Have a GREAT week!
