Londontown and Don Juan

I happened to go hunting for a play for us to watch, partly because an old neighborhood friend was in London recently seeing the new Harry Potter play.  Lo and behold, there it was in big letters!  DAVID TENNANT.  He is a fantastic actor, classically trained with a background in theater whom we fell in love with on TV.  In "Dr Who".  And he was playing in a new play for a short run, called "Don Juan in SoHo".

We booked matinee tickets at the Wyndham Theater, which is a lovely theater with no bad seats.  We were in the Opera Circle, one balcony up, front row, essentially about 20 or 30 feet from the stage.  And at one point, David Tennant is up on a contraption over the crowd and even closer to us.  It was very funny, and we enjoyed it immensely.  I eavesdropped on the American couple next to us who were discussing Brexit and Trump with the English couple next to them and learned that even these Republicans were appalled with Trump and did not vote for him.  Gives me some more hope for our country.

I'm a little anxious about our travel with the EU plan to enforce stronger Visas on US Citizens.  That's supposed to go into effect later this year.  But in the meantime, we are loving our seaside location in Eastbourne, which is a "lovely place to retire" according the "The Moo Man" documentary.

Friends in Denver had recently told us that Denver had "bad" Indian food.  We were surprised, because we have loved the Indian food at the downtown location of "Little India".  Then we got to Paris and had Indian food at "Nawab" and we said, OOOOOHHHH.  Then we got back to London, where we had previously eaten at two different Indian restaurants and fell in love with Indian food in the first place, seven years ago.  We ate at "Punjab" and said OOOOHHHHH, again.  Delightful food, delicious Naan, simmeringly saucy, spicy dishes with rice so repeatedly washed that not one grain sticks to another.  Mmmm.
