To begin, it was a long drive – we had a fabulous dessert near Richmond at Dunbri’s – a little bit of a British theme and cakes, and soft serve and candies and and and-, and ok bbq at The Bone in Gainesville VA. Now, this morning I went out on my own, took a […]
no soup dumplings until after 5 pm So we got finger bao along with scallion pancake with beef and string beans. The beans were great. The pancakes good. The dumplings flavorless We spent most of lunch picking places where we can hopefully grab a baguette

We arrived on the Eurostar in no time at all from London and were settled into our dorm room of an airbnb by 1 pm. Great location but really, a five star at an Airbnb is now meaningless to me. Remember- bring soap, hand towels, dishtowels, a few trash bags and a good attitude because […]
Last night we took a long bus ride towards dinner. The bus was on diversion which I still dont quite understand. Can you get off? How do you know when it’s going on diversion? Where will it resume its path? Londoners I have asked dont really seem to know. And a google search doesn’t provide […]
