Here we are walking to the "hop on, hop off" tour bus.
We got off when we were near Dave's office at Framestore. Dave took his parents on a tour whilst the kids and I hung out in the lobby enjoying fizzy water, fruit, and writting notes.
We left Framestore and walked to my new favorite place to eat in Soho, Hummus Brothers! When in Soho, you must eat here!
We loved every bite of our hard boiled eggs, tabouleh, hummus, toppings of grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and onions, and of course freshly made pita bread. I'm making myself hungry! We brought some back for K and M who needed to stay home and get well.
Of course, we celebrated Q's birthday again. : ) When the guys at Hummus Bros found out it was his birthday, they brought us complimentary fresh mint tea with a hint of ginger and desserts; malabi, chocolate brownie, and one with candles for Q!
Our next adventure was to go with Glen and Julie and help them find their Oxy reunion. It was so fun being with them on their first Tube experience. I thought Julie might pass out! Being on the Tube is the easy part; finding the right one can be rather stressful. Dave was concerned that we all wouldn't fit on the Tube, but we did! Look at his exhausted face compared to Glen's thrilled face. 
It was so packed on the Tube that people had to get off to let others out, then they had to hope they could get back on again!
I was face to face with a gal who "Thank God!" did not have BO. Gee, I wonder if I did.
I have a feeling those who don't make it into Heaven will end up taking the Tube to Hell. Anywho, we finally got off and made our way up the escalator to street level. We were all happy to breathe again.
Not only is it tight courters, but it's humid and hot, not my favorite combination.Somehow, we found our destination, the Grenadier Pub.
It was hidden, tucked away in a neighborhood, and not easy to find in the dark of night. We came down the dark alley you see to the right of the red door. Glen and Julie made their connections, then we all walked back to the dreaded Underground to make our way to the places we call home.
We stopped to take a last picture with Ben, give hugs, say our sad good-byes, and continue on our train journey to Nunhead.
Dave woke up extra early to meet up with his parents before they left for the airport. We're missing them already.
