One of my favorite shows

.
Last night, Ted and I went to see my favorite West End musical ever: The Sound of Music. Even though I had already seen it once -when my mother in law came to London-, Ted had never seen it, not even the movie! And, the show is ending next week so I was pretty excited that we were able to see it for the last time.

Ted thought it was cute but not amazing as I described it. I don't know why exactly I like this musical so much. Maybe it is because it has kids and they all sing beautifully. I just love it! It's sad that Ted didn't like it that much. I think he prefers theater.

I love both. I want to act, sing and dance forever! That would be my ideal job!

Follow the link to see part of the show. The same actress was playing Maria last night. And we had front-row tickets for only £20

I got a picture with the kiddos who play the Von Trapp family. I will upload them one of these days :)

Always look at the bright side of life... whistle, whistle, whistlewhistlewhistle...

About a week ago we learned that the show Spamalot was ending soon and, because we've been wanting to see it for a while, we rushed to get some tickets before it was too late.

Spamalot is Monty Python's best comedy act in the West End. If you haven't seen the movie "Holy Grail" then you won't probably find it too funny. But, trust me, it is hilarious! This is the sort of British humor I love and I will miss a lot when we move back to the States.

As usual, getting my picture and autograph from leading actors was in the to-do-list. Here is the one of little me with Michael Xavier. He plays the role of Sir Dennis Galahad, The Black Knight and Prince Herbert's Father. Check out his website: www.michaelxavier.co.uk

Only in London

Last Saturday, we were walking out of Embankment tube station and saw this.

All I want for Christmas is YOU!

One thing I really like about Ted's work Christmas parties in London is the fact that everyone gets all fancy for the special "do". We do too! Check us out with our Christmas spirit in full swing:

Amstercold

.
Two weeks ago, Ted and I got a chance to visit the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Being there was really nice but the weather was super duper freezing cold. Lots of cuddling going on! The highlights of the trip were: Van Gogh Museum, Ann Frank's house, and a cool jazz cafe. I really hope we get to see more of Amsterdam in the future.

Happy Thanksgiving!

.


This is picture of us in a one area of London called Little Venice. It was taken at the beginning of November so you could still see beautiful trees with yellow leaves. I was also able to go out in a t-shirt and jeans and be okay with it. Now, it is the end of the month and a lot colder, so it's impossible to go out without bundling yourself up.

Nevertheless, it is that time of the year that I really like because it makes you stop and reflect, evaluate, cuddle, appreciate, cuddle again, dream, think about family and comfort food... and then cuddle a little more.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!!
