Many visitors

We have had a ton of visitors recently. It's amazing how central London is to the rest of the world and how people find their way to our little Mew.

Kirsten Nesholm stayed with us for a weekend after she roughed it in the south of France for a couple of weeks on her summer vacation. We had a great time wandering around, eating great food, and she and Erin hit the shopping districts pretty hard. Here's a picture of her and Erin.















We also had the good fortune to have Erin's friend, Karen Nachbar, from Cornell in town on business with Morgan Stanley, and is a total foodie (though she thinks that is a derogatory term, but I don't understand why) and made reservations at quite possibly the best restaurant we've ever been to,The Fat Duck....definitely the priciest. It was phenomenal. We actually had Smoked Bacon and Egg Ice Cream ...very good and sardine sorbet...interesting... We're eating a lot of Mac and cheese to make up for the bill though.

After she left, Kirk Johnson, a former Hitachio, now a big cheese at Jobster.com, was here for work as well. We met up at a gastropub in Chelsea. More great food and a couple of Guiness to make sure he could get over the jet lag....

And last, but not least, Kurt Weber from Seattle was in town, also in for Microsoft work. We hit the town on Friday and Saturday nights. After a long week, Erin and I begged out leaving Kurt and Eddie at the bar at about 1am on Friday night (Saturday morning). We saw Kurt again on Saturday and he regaled us with stories involving Polish supermodels, after hour clubs and 6am finishes...and I actually believe him. He had to check out of his hotel early and after I left my phone off inadvertantly on Saturday he wandered over and quickly invited himself to take a nap before doing anything else.

It's been great to see everyone here. We're slow on the visitors for awhile...but feel free to look at the calendar at the bottom of the page for updates on future arrivals.
