Joe and Sko Adventures: The Good Stuff

Good news! Joe got a promotion *and* we found a flat! Settled on a flat near Fulham Broadway which is in the western part of London. It's not the closest thing to work (about 40 minutes by bus to work), but the place had so much character and storage space (very key), we couldn't say no. And our future visitors would be happy to hear - it has 2 futons! We should be moving in early next week. Will do another episode of cribs after we get it all spiffied up.

It was a weekend of fun fun fun. One of those weekends that will take the whole weekday to recuperate from. Being our first official visitors since we moved here - Winnie and Shirley showed the Londoners how New Yorkers party. Amongst this weeks featured activities (aka consuming alcoholic drinks), we were able to check out many of London's more cultural aspects.

::Tate Modern::
Saw my first Jackson Pollock painting in person, a very cool sculpture by Rachel Whitereadand, and had a leisurely lunch in the restaurant at the top floor of the Tate with a view of the Thames River and St. Paul. Joe was running 16 miles at the time so that is why he's not in the photos.

::Flamenco Festival London::
Saw the Ballet Nacional de Espana perform at Sadler Wells Theater. Lots of clapping, tapping, and beautiful costumes. We were so exhausted when Sunday came around, that we would have all fallen asleep if it wasn't so lively. Viva Espana!

And another shameless plug for our little 3 Peak Challenge fundraiser. Joe and I need to raise 500 GBP between the 2 of us which equates to $872. So far we have $0 :(. Donate here please. Many Thanks!
