London 2024 Day Six

Today was the big finish. I hadn't had proper fish and chips so we let The Champion make our lunch. Again the dishes were wonderful and my fish and chips were as the should be. We learn as we go through life, and I have learned that I like skinny French fries better than English chips.

Annie went to a movie and Kris and I took the good ol' 94 bus to Piccadilly Circus and the Prince of Wales Theatre for an energy-filled performance of the Book of Mormon. It was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much. Great voices, skillful dancing, and an engaging production. And, yet again, I had all the feels during the finale.

We are now home to pack for a 7:00 a.m. departure from our flat. So there isn't likely to be anything more in this series. It has been a good trip, but it is a little discouraging to be missing the energy and agility we had as youngsters. There is no more dashing, hustling, or running all day long and into the evening. That ship has sailed.

Lunch at The Champion

These were good!

Early afternoon at Piccadilly Circus: gray and red

The Prince of Wales is a posh Art-Deco era venue

Lots of familiar iconography

A tip of the hat to temples

Not every detail was perfect but these writers knew their stuff

The Prince of Wales Theatre on Coventry Street

Darkness had settled in at Piccadilly Circus

A Regents Street kaleidoscope

Old-age pensioners on the bus home

This is all for now. There will be a regular post at the beginning of January with Christmas stuff.

My favorite thing about BoM was the inside jokes that only Mormons or Ex-Mos would get. Sad to see the trip end. Excited to see you!-Maren
