Keri and Lucio came to visit at the end of May for a mini-European tour! They stayed with us during the last bank holiday weekend, then went to Paris for a couple days on the Eurostar, then to Rome to visit Lucio's family and then back to London! While they were here, we hit all the London top tourist spots, saw Billy Elliott the musical, went to the British Museum to view the Rosetta Stone (Lucio's favorite!), ate at a ton of good restaurants (K&L took us out to a fantastic dinner one night at Joe Allen's), had a few pints with Andrew & Katie up in Hampstead, and a ton of other things that I know I'm forgetting!
Probably the most memorable part of their trip was checking out a science fiction exhibit called the London "Telectroscope", which was supposed to look like a giant underground tunnel that connects London Bridge to the Brooklyn Bridge (really it was just a tunnel popping out of the ground with a webcam showing NY at the end). We waited in the queue for more than an hour, paid £1 each to see it and ended up not even really getting to see the it because a family was hogging the whole space! Not to mention that we were all disspointed when we actually got to see it up close - skype is even much better! Although, I don't know what we were expecting! HAIt was so good to see them (since it had been since xmas!) and have some time to catch up! And I still can't believe how much they did while they were here!
