Phantom of the Opera

all ready for the show!

Her Majesty's Theatre

Mary and Sean in Trafalgar Square (National Gallery behind)

Today Mary had a dream come true when we went to see The Phantom of the Opera here in London.  She enjoyed it very much!  I'm glad she got to have a little fun in London after feeling so poorly.  It made my trip to see her so happy and feeling so well.  All four of us went to the National Gallery before our show.  The highlight for me was seeing Rembrandt's self portraits and Van Gogh's "Sunflowers".  Sean loved the painting by an unknown artist called "cognoscenti in a room hung with pictures", Mary loved Jan van Os' "fruit and flowers in a terra cotta vase" and Kirk loved Paul Rubens' "the watering place".  The kids also enjoyed Judith Leyster's "a boy and a girl with a cat and an eel".  Tomorrow we will take the "Chunnel" train to Paris!  We miss you all very much.  Have a great time in China, Mo!
