Linda Mathieu's experiences living as an American expat in France
London Eye
We had a play to see in the neighborhood of the London Eye and walked around a bit looking around.
We arrived as the sun was setting.It leans out over the water for some reason. I rode it the last time I was in London and had great views of the river below.We were across the river from Parliament. Big Ben is covered in scaffolding right now.This is called County Hall where one branch of the government once met. It now houses many things including the theatre of the play we saw.We had time to kill so went into a bar in the Marriot Hotel and had this great view.It was a gin bar so we had gin and tonics. There were all sorts of gins to choose from. This one was a floral flavoured gin.The play, Witness for the Prosecution, an old Agatha Christy play, was set in the old chamber for the government which really fit the play as most of it takes place in a courtroom. Twelve people over to the left got to be the jury and one of them even got to give the verdict.The London Eye as we headed to our metro stop.
Love having you take us along since travel will be a problem for a while.
What fun!
