chicago (again)

somehow we booked our flight to belfast for tomorrow morning at 7:15am.  7:15am.  sheesh.  i know that this was the cheapest option, so that's why we picked it, but still.  i'm trying not to think about our wake up in the 4am hour.  sigh.  as that is not very many hours away, i'll make this short...

we had a great day today - had lunch with vin, whose apartment ("flat") we've been staying in - it was SO good to see her, even though it was brief - she is en route to india now for three weeks.  we passed some afternoon time in a park and then had a drink in a pub before seeing chicago, which was awesome.  but, um, i forgot that i'd seen it before.  when we bought the half price tickets i was like, "i don't think i've seen this show before," and i maintained that belief until we were in the theater waiting for the show to start and all of a sudden it came to me that yes!  i had seen it before - two summers ago, also in london, starring jerry springer.  longtime blog readers may remember that.  i am apparently an old woman, because until that moment i had NO MEMORY of seeing the show before.  oops.  but it was really fun and i'm glad we saw it (again)!

after dinner we got a light dinner at a place vin had recommended - opera tavern - i had some gorgonzola and date fritters (delish - i could have eaten 10, but it was probably good the portion size was limited to 4) and ricotta gnocchi with spring vegetables and pesto (delish), and we got some free drinks (also delish).

tomorrow: ireland!!
