Hi all! We made it safe and sound, albeit a little tired from the plane trip. As may be expected, we walked around on Monday a little dazed, but still managed to find some fun pubs. On Tuesday, John and Karen slept in a bit and ran some errands in the morning while Steve and I took in the Tate Modern Art Musem. It was amazing; we viewed some Cubist and Impressionist paintings, and some very interesting mixed media pieces.
We met up at the River Cafe for a late lunch (I have a couple of cookbooks from this restaurant) Food and company were both wonderful. Next stop was the Great British Beer Festival to check in for work on Thursday. We hung around for a while and sampled some brews. We'll be back there Thursday for our shift.
Today K&J are planning to visit the British Museum today and take in a play. Steve & I are visiting bookshops and some other fine British institutions (Harrod's for example -- the food court was phenomenal - some very interesting foods we don't get to see very often.)
Well, that's all for now, I'll check back in after our 2 days of pouring British beers -- gee can you believe we have to work on our vacation?
All our best!!

Glad to hear you arrived safely. I am looking forward to "Tales from the Keg" and maybe even a photo or two. That is if you have the time.
Me too... I want to see pictures! Otherwise we will just think that you are actually in Bruno at an un-disclosed location. In fact, I don't think that is the Tower Bridge in London at all. In fact, it could be the Kettle River Bridge in Sandstone! Pictures - we want pictures!
Hey - I found video of the Beer Festival on You Tube. You can see it here

I think there is a shot of John selling ale at the 1 minute 48 second spot. Either that or it is his long lost cousin!
