Finally got an evening to myself after many nights working here. It's been good - Fox knows I can't complain about being "forced" to take clients out for expensive dinners every night. It's just very exhausting between the jetlag and the chronic fatigue carried over from the craziness of that conference in Orlando.
But I'm at the St. Martins Lane hotel a stone's throw from Westminster, in the heart of the theatre district, and I couldn't have forgiven myself if I didn't go out and explore the city when I had the chance.
I'm glad I did - London is gorgeous - thriving, frenetic, international. I followed the crowd through Piccadilly and Leicester Square, across Shaftesbury Ave and up Regent Street. Ate at a hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant and picked my way back through the crowds. I love it here.
Heading down for a final martini at the posh hotel bar - should be good for some more people-watching, then back up to pack. I fly out to Chicago tomorrow.
