We feel like our inclinations towards Indian food helped us get lucky today. We know we're winding down and spent some time this morning talking about what we'd liked about London. About mortality and how it's likely it will be 20 years till we next spend any real time in London.
On that note... We're here because London isn't a city (country) where it's easy to travel in with a dog. And last year our dog died, so we figured this was an opportune time to do this. We'd originally considered New Zealand but decided we probably weren't the types to enjoy just that much outdoors (it isn't obvious what else, other than nature and vistas would occupy us for an entire month there). So, being pragmatic, we're in London even thought we suspect it's easy in a way that might be comforting when we're a bunch older. Anyway, we're here and this segment of the trip is winding down...
So,our inclination towards Indian food took us to Trishna, a Michelin mentioned (not a starred restaurant) restaurant. It was 'designer' Indian food. Great with us. We enjoyed a different version here of Indian food. And wrapped around it (before and after) we walked a new to us neighborhood, Marylebone. Interesting stores, houses, just interesting and different. And, in a completely touristic thing, we walked past Sherlock Holmes's house at 221 Baker Street.
Rested at home a bit, then out for one last theatre event. Went to a play called Written On The Heart which was about the 16th century process of translating the Bible into English. It's actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. The larger issues were things like the corruption of church officials, making god accessible to regular people, the stability of the English crown, a man dying for his vision (Tinsdale). Glad we went.
