For Cinco De Mayo I meet up with my friend Tom from work. He took me over to Hamstead Heath for a nice walk and to show me the London skyline. After that we hit a local pub for lunch and some afternoon bank holiday drinking. It was good to talk and hang out. We talk all the time at work but always on the phone. It is always good to get some good old fashioned bonding done when you are in the same city with someone you only speak to on the phone.
After leaving the pub with Tom I headed back to the hotel. It was early so I really didn’t know what else to do. I headed out to forage for dinner. Maybe it was the alcohol or the fact that there was no line but I ended up eating at the Shake Shack in Covent Gardens. When I told her about it MC made some fun of me for doing that but I maintain if i was on the moon and there was a Shake Shack with no line i would eat there. Seriously that place always has a line. I was just utilizing an opportunity. It was the perfect after drinks meal for someone who wasn’t keeping track of what they eat while they travel.
After the meal it was back to the hotel and a FaceTime with MC and the kids and now off to bed since it was back to work tomorrow.
