TRAVELING WITH THE PEARONS
Good morning, everyone! This is Matthew with the last of the actual posts of the “Surviving London” series. We hope to do a “What We Learned” wrap-up post about a week from now, just to give a brief synopsis of our overall thoughts. For now, I’m just going to give a brief rundown
This is Valeri and this post will hopefully be short and sweet … but I can’t promise that. We woke up this morning sad to leave London. Matthew had threatened many times that he was staying and I just knew I’d miss the beautiful city. However, I was also a bit excited for Paris –
Good afternoon! Matthew here, reporting from London. Today was bittersweet. It brought an end to our London adventure, but will mark the start of our journey to Paris. I can’t say I’m quite as excited as my wife is about France, but it will be a neat trip. We will only be there a day (closer to half
Hello, Valeri here. Today was our “market day,” along with a few little things we had planned to do between markets. Well, not everything went as planned, which has happened to us a few times on this trip. Surprisingly, with us being planners, you would think it would drive
Good afternoon, everyone! Matthew here. I’ll be bringing you today’s report from London. Good news! We will be adding the pictures in our previous blogs today, because our hotel’s internet is behaving. If you’re like me and like pretty colors and shiny things, browse back through them. Today’s coffee stop was
Hello, this is Valeri. I’m just sitting here with my feet up in our hotel (boy do they hurt) waiting for the series nine premiere of Doctor Who to come on at 7:40 p.m. I know you’re all jealous … and you rightfully should be. Anyways, more on Doctor Who later tonight. We
Hello, everyone! This is Matthew again. Sorry to mix things up on you, but we’ve switched nights so I can pay attention to the Doctor Who series nine premier – which I will be watching “live” for the first time! Yes, people … I’m a Whovian. Embrace the geek. On a
Good afternoon, everyone! This is Matthew, reporting from London. (I wish I had more opportunities to use that phrase!). This is the sixth installment of Beauty and the Geek: Surviving London. According to Val’s Fitbit app, we walked about 14 miles today, bringing our week so far to 57.64 miles – roughly 132,127 steps.
Hey! Valeri here. We are somehow on our fourth day of London. Not sure how that happened. Everything just needs to slow down. After breakfast at the hotel, we went out to find our morning coffee. This morning’s choice was Prufrock and we were not disappointed … except, once again, no drip coffee.
Greetings from London! Matthew here. It’s my turn to write the blog again, so prepare yourself! The day started bright and early with breakfast provided by the hotel at which we are staying – Hotel Makedonia (read the review by clicking here). As usual, my plate was filled with all sorts of good-looking foods and
Hey! Valeri here, on this partly cloudy and mostly raining day in London. Our morning began with a wonderful breakfast spread here at the hotel. They had everything: Kiwi, Salami, Prosciutto, cereal, tofu, toast/jam, all sorts of cheeses and more. It was very good. Matthew was also happy that they gave him four juice
Good afternoon! Matthew here. Most of you are reading this from the Midwestern part of the U.S., so that greeting is more than likely appropriate. It’s about 10 p.m. here, and we’ve just about called it a night. Here is a rundown of the day’s activities. Please excuse the brevity and any typographical errors you
Hello and welcome to another exciting adventure with the Pearons! If you’re reading this, you’ve probably experienced the wilds of Seattle and Kansas City with us (if not, click here), and have an idea of how we do this. We’ll try to trade off who writes the entry each night, or do a joint entry. Sometimes, if
