London Again

Two posts in one week isn't bad compared to the lack of posts the previous six weeks. I (Melissa) was able to make a quick trip to London this week to visit my cousin, Richard, and his girlfriend, Angela, who are currently living there. The bonus was that I was also able to see Jordan (Richard's brother and my cousin) and Aunty Angie (Richard and Jordan's mum) as they were also visiting as well as my UTM tennis friends, Anna and Smange (see posts in July when we visited them in London).

This visit was definitely one of the highlights of my travels through Europe. Nothing beats being with family and friends. Since I had already seen many tourist sites in London, it was nice to be able to relax, hang out, catch up and talk. And I was able to taste Richard's cooking, which was surprisingly good considering that he took out all of the fat and sugar from our meals.

Klas spent time with his family in Sweden while I was in London. I think we've done very well travelling together, especially considering that we've been together 24/7 since the end of February, 2007. However, this little break was good for us...absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder.

As I had promised, this blog post is much shorter than the last. See the photos below...
