The Best Laid Plans...

Just 'cause thinks aren't going as planned, doesn't mean we don't have fun!

The rest of our day did not go quite so well as the the auspicious beginning. We tried to visit the Temple of Mithras--only to find that it has mysteriously disappeared. We tried to visit the Guildhall--only to find it closed for a special event. We tried to visit Smithfield Marke--only to find that it is open only in the mornings. We tried to find gelato for the girls to make up for tramping them all around Central London and had no luck. Finally, we grabbed the first tube we came to, headed back to Westfield Mall in our own backyard and went to the gelato stand we KNOW is there and open. We then grabbed a bite to eat at Burger King--another standbye and called it a day. We try very hard to plan these things out to maximize our time here but sometimes the city and the many competing demands of the population on its treasures get the best of us.
