On Feb. 2 we spent the day running through Regents Park, enjoyed reading a paper over coffee and a pastry, and had a fabulous supper with Nate's family friends, the Fischers. At night, we went to a local pub and discovered a new favorite beer, "London Pride".
Feb. 3 began with an early start as we had booked a tour (we needed a weekend of non-driving:)!)! It was an incredibly cold day, but we were able to see, at our leisure, Leeds Castle -the exterior is magnificent! and an American heiress lived in the castle before donating it to be a "working castle"-, the town and Cathedral at Canterbury, and the Cliffs of Dover. All of the sites were brilliant (wow, I'm saying that a lot lately!). We also had an incredible Moroccan meal in Canterbury- Nate had pork belly, roasted peppers in sauce, potatoes and salad and I had chicken skewers, vegetables and couscous in two sauces. It was one of the best meals we have ever had (I didn't think I would be saying that while in Britain)!
Happy Chinese New Year to all our friends! May the year of the Rat be good to you!
