London

Apparently changing one's name (from maiden to married) on one's documents is not as quick as one would think. Long story short (too late), I didn't get my passport, etc. back in time and we had to cancel our trip to France. Boo.

The good news? My wonderful husband took me to London for a few days, instead.

Though I had been before, I had never done the tourist thing. It was fantastic. We did an open-top bus tour, including a river tour of the Thames (Definitely do this. It was amazing; not too tourist-y). We ate gluten free pizza, and TONS of sushi. And we visited all of our favourite pubs.

For the record: Yes. I went to Ladurée first (and two times after that). And, yes. I spent 20 minutes walking around Whole Foods savoring the atmosphere; it felt like visiting an old friend.

Things I learned: 1) The word "hangover" originated in the days when public hangings were a good excuse for a party. 2) The Lady of Justice statue on top of the Old Bailey is not blindfolded. 3) Savile Row is spelled with one "l". and 4) London is awesome.

I'm sold.
