Mom has boarded her flight home and should be arriving back in Vancity within a few hours. It was sad to see her go but I know she was looking forward to being home again (as am I) so it was a "See ya later," rather than a goodbye yesterday when we parted ways at Victoria Station yesterday afternoon.
The last few days just hanging out around London with Mom have been so nice! We saw a bunch of neat markets and finally figured out the Tube (of course.. RIGHT before she leaves). We spent one afternoon in Camden Market that my brother Nick strongly recommended, and it was so neat! There were a lot of stalls with vendors in them along the canal and many different types of food to try out too! We didn't take photos of it, mainly because I want to take Brad there in a few days and want it to be fresh and new to him. :) But if you ever come to London, make time to check out Camden market as well at Covent Gardens-both are fun places full of activity and even have local artists performing there. They even have fish pedicures at Camden market... Mom almost went for it, but then changed her mind at the last minute haha.

I almost forgot! Well.. no, I didn't. I could never forget..... WE SAW THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!! OMG! It was fantastic! I've been looking forward to seeing this since I was young and it lived up to my expectations for sure! I had chills the majority of the time and I've gotta say...I cannot wait to see it again! I even bought the magic "Phantom" cup (LOVE IT). There is a mask on the side of the cup that is black, and when you pour hot liquid in it, the mask turns white! Yah, I know... not THAT cool... well, I think it is anyways! haha
Until the next post,
Cheers!
So glad your time there is going well! And guess what? Right at this moment Brad has been on his plane to you for about one hour. Not very long and you'll be exploring together!
