Hangin' with da homies

After the trials of Siberia, we took it a bit easy in London. We shopped for antiques on Portobello Road, then bought food at the Borough market (made famous by the naked chef.)

    

Mostly we spent quality time with my family (father came out to visit) and old friends. We saw Gautam and Radhika, as well as Ali and Will - two friends from Princeton I hadn't seen in years. We went with them to a Pakistani hole-in-the-wall restaurant called the "Lahore Kebab House." Despite the name, there were no Kabab's on the menu. We asked the waiter, and he said "yes, we have Kebabs of course." Hm... What kinds? "Meat." Okay then. The meal was great, the Kebabs less so. :)

The only real bummer was that we were planning a day-trip to Cambridge to see Ahmed and his family, but I caught some nasty germ and we couldn't make it.

        

    

Now we're rested and ready to start our month in Paris!
