Ridin' the Circle Line

For those of you familiar with London transportation, you've probably heard of the circle line. It's a tube line that goes...in a circle! So if you wanted, you could go in circles around and around and around the city. Well...sort of. It used to anyway.

Even though you now have to get off and change at Edgware Road, what better way to spend a late Sunday morning than riding the circle line! And eat lunch....with a fully spread out table of course.

It made for quite a good time. Mike joined Monica and I, we got a round of applause from the car when we first boarded, and later some other tourists even posed for pictures with us. We were a big deal. All in all, a fun event. Next time, we're going even bigger and better....stay tuned.

Here are some photos from the day:

Our pensive "it's tea time" look.


The Mon and the Mike

Our first unwilling participant. We initially sat next to her and slowly the rest of the car emptied until it was literally the four of us at one end. It was a bit awkward for a few stops until she left. She wasn't really amused.

Our second friend. He was happy to play along.

Problem: jerky stops, starts and bumps on the way.

Solution: grab the table so nothing falls off.

A Ukrainian tourist. She thought we were hot stuff.

We even brought napkins. We are so proper.
