And here we go! This may not be a great picture, but it is the first pic of our great adventure taken at Hartsfield Airport. After finding out that we are moving to London in early March 2011, we left our home-city of Atlanta on June 2nd.
After landing at Heathrow on Friday morning (June 3rd), both exhausted but excited, we went directly to our new flat in the beautiful area of Ealing Broadway. Once we dropped our 8 bags of luggage off, we grabbed a delicious lunch at Farm W5 organic shop and headed to the park across the street to enjoy a nice picnic across from Pitzhanger Manor. We spent most of the afternoon walking around the area and trying to set up necessary things, such as activating our bank account, getting cell phones, etc.. We then walked around Walpole Park, literally across from our flat, and were pleasantly surprised by how large, clean, and lovely the park is. While inside Walpole Park we meandered over to the walled garden where our senses were overloaded by beautiful, colorful and aromatic roses. We finished the day with a refreshing pint of Guinness at the corner Irish pub, O'Neill's, before enjoying an immensely flavorful Nepalese dinner at Monty's: Masala Papadum, Chicken Sag, Lamb Chilli Masala and of course Nan. Once dinner was complete we leisurely strolled back to our flat and very much wanted to enjoy some of the live music options but ultimately decided after 30+ hours of being awake that it was time to call it a "DAY"!
