Dearest Alex,
Happy 13th Birthday to Amanda!!!!
We gave her the few presents we were able to pack and then off the see some sights. We started with the Portobello Market (where Paddington Bear used to shop) and then on to Regents Park and the London Zoo. It rained on and off all day, alternating between sun and warmth and then freezing winds and rain. Weird weather.
Then we rode a double decker bus and got off at Trafalger Square. I have never seen such a mass of people in my life. If this is the way the city is now, I would hate to see it during the Olympics! We walked around and stumbled upon a vegetarian Indian restaurant that was delicious. We have never had Indian food that good.
Then we walked to Picadilly Circus and on a whim decided to check out one of the theatres. The Crittendon Theatre was playing a comedy, The 39 Steps, which looked good, so 10 minutes before the show, we walked up to the box office and got tickets! It was a great play, and we got great seats - front row of the balcony. But after the show, we were all tired out. We have been spoiled in Ukraine with a car and driver. Our feet hurt from all the walking here. So back to the apartment to collapse.
Hope you had a great birthday Amanda!
Love,
Bethany, G3, G4, & Amanda
