Kerry and Kim in Hyde Park

Our trip to the UK started in London in the rain, the afternoon of the tube and bus bombings. This was Kerry's first trip to the UK, and her first impression of England was of a London bobby carrying a machine gun. Not what any of us expected. Once the Heathrow Express resumed service, we made our way through the city by cab, the only way to get to our hotel in Mayfair. Once we arrived at the Grosvenor Square Marriott, we found that the block around our hotel was taped off due to our proximity to the American Embassy. Despite the obstacles, we took a long walk through Mayfair and Hyde Park in the rain. As you can see, our spirits are high.


Rules Restaurant

Here we are at Rules, the oldest restaurant in London. We enjoyed a tasty meal, good wine, and decadent puddings under the watchful eye of Maggie.

Here's Maggie. (See, I wasn't kidding.)
