Wickedly Fabulous




We had an absolutely fabulous time seeing Wicked in London. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more--me or Maddie. And Skip, who would never initiate such an event, always ends up enjoying it. So a good time was had by all. What a wonderful gift to be able to see such amazing live theater. And now Maddie is thinking twice when she hears someone described as "bad." It's a great illustration of how there are two sides to every story.

Maddie and I are getting better and better at navigating the "tube" in London. It is a great system--especially when you consider the alternative is driving or taxi cabbing through one of the busiest cities in the world. She has discovered Giraffe--a restaurant chain in London that has good food for all but particularly caters to kids. She also really enjoyed the hands-on part of the Science Museum. Most of the museums in London are open to the public for free. Since everything else is so very expensive, that's a real coup.

There is more to do in London than one could ever hope to get done. Between the theater and the museums and the music and the parcs and the castles and the churches. People have been living and building there for a very long time. And of course, I particularly enjoy it because everyone speaks English!
