Trying to write this blog entry and falling asleep for the second day in a row. But if I don't finish it now, it will set the precedent for a bad practice. So I will try to write something - sorry if it comes out like it was written by a family from Prostokvashino.
Irina, kids and I went to London on Saturday. Primarily to familiarize her with the trip logistics. We spent over 3 hours in the Southside walking at most 1 km in the process. Kids sampled every playground and sandbox on the way. It is a great place to spend time in the summer in great weather.
Dan joined us at the Mexican restaurant,
Wahaca, built from the shipping containers. Very nice place in terms the service, ambience and food. After lunch we walked west along the bridge, crossing the bridge at the beautiful
Garden Museum and going back past the Parliament back.
We took the train to Richmond at the Waterloo station and decided to walk home. We filled up on the road necessities at Tesco: water, giant loaf of freshly baked bread, bananas and junk food. But it became pretty clear that most of the party was not destined to make the trip. So we walked back and caught a boat to Kingston. We all enjoyed it. Going through the lock for the first time in our lives was an added bonus.
At night Dan and I walked to Surbiton and bought me a used mountain bike. In retrospect, we should have bought a brand new lower end one but at least it was a starting point to get the whole family equipped so that we could continue to enjoy this place in different ways. OK. I think I am done for tonight :)
