Mags & Jon Visit - London & Paris

In Paris - April 08

San Francisco - some time in 2004?

We were honoured (english-ly) to have Mags and Jon come over for a visit recently as their first trip sans-kids. They flew to London and I was able to meet them at Heathrow on my way back from the below trip to Israel.

It was great fun to catch up with them - we saw sights, did a pub tour (one of Gordon Ramsay's called the Narrow for lunch- overrated, not worth it, and not a great experience, and some of our favorites in Chelsea including the Anglesea Arms, Cross Keys, and Drayton Arms (Jon and I at the Pig's Ear here):
and in our own neighborhood (Wells Tavern) by the Heath for dinner where we saw Stephen Merchant

We then took the Eurostar to Paris for some more sightseeing and dining fun - from the traditional/obligatory visits to the Champs Elysee and Eiffel Tower to exploring some areas we've never been to before and finding some great little neighborhoods & streets - capped off with visits to the best macaroon place in Paris (La Duree), the best ice cream place (Berthillon), and a visit to Willi's Wine Bar


All in all it was a great visit - and a bunch of fun to be able to explore two cities in 5 days with buddies from SF (now CT).
