Armed with a one day Zone 1 Tube pass, we head out for some serious tourism. We go to Buckingham Palace, Green Park and on a Thames River Cruise. We eat pub food and I drank a pint of Bass ale in Soho. We see Julie Christie in a new production of "Old Times", a 70’s era Harold Pinter play at the Wyndham Theater. Then on to a late dinner at Langams. I had Bangers and Mash, Bubbles and Squeek, Sigrid had leg of lamb. Finished the night by losing money playing blackjack at the Palm Beach Casino. We had last been in London on our honeymoon in September 1992. Then, we had noticed many well-heeled Africans and Arabs in the Palm Beach with money to burn. This time there appears to be more Indians. I suspect the Palm Beach is a leading economic indicator for emerging markets. I make a note to research Indian mutual finds when I return.
