Thanksgiving in London, England

Dan, Bob, Judy & I had a wonderful time in sunny, yes sunny London for Thanksgiving.

We were able to do some tourist attractions such as the Tower of London, the Churchill War Room  Museum, and the Albert & Victoria museum.

My favorite restaurants by far, were Ishbilia, a fine Lebanese white table-cloth place...I think we were the only Americans there.



Next came Cafe Spice Namaste where you can see their colorful wall treatments.

We were warmly greeted by the owners.  Here's a sampling of what was on our table...almost as colorful as the restaurant itself.

And O Fado, a Portuguese restaurant since 1968, was fabulous!  I enjoyed the Chicken Piri Piri while

 Dan had a wonderful lamb stew with potatoes and carrots.

Additionally, we traveled to Bath where we saw the wonderful Roman baths and spas

  as well as the Fashion Museum

where you will see me sporting a hoop skirt and corset.


On Thanksgiving Day, Dan procurred a bottle of Harvey Nichols sparkling for us to enjoy in the flat before lunch.  We dined at The Capital ...a mere 1 minute walk from the flat.  I had a delightful partridge and foie gras encased in phylo.  Dan & Bob ordered the prix fixe meal which included a wonderful salmon tartare for Dan, followed by a Halibut bouillabasse preparation.  His dessert was a chocolate lava molten cake which was quite delicious.

And, no trip would be complete without taking a London Taxi which we did after we saw the changing of the guard.  I find it interesting that all of the taxis have vehicle wraps.  Here was ours.
