We have found a new flat! It is close to Canary Wharf, so Christine can walk to work. I will have a short commute to Bank tube station, taking the DLR, which will be nicer than taking the District tube line. This is a picture of the lounge from the on-line posting. 
For dinner, Christine made Mr. Yuen's (Christine's dad) Kind Prawn recipe. Its a ketchup sauce and its delicious!
Today Christine and I went to Borough Market. We had heard a lot of good things about it, and we were not disappointed. It is a food market, and you can get all sorts of food. We had a good lunch and purchased fresh food to make dinner at home.
On Thursday, the day after returning from Barcelona, I had a black tie dinner at Oxford with work. We stayed in the dormitory for Keble College. The college was built in 1868, which is one of the newer colleges at Oxford. The left photo is of the Chapel, and the right photo is of the dining hall where we ate. Apparently the Harry Potter producers approached this college first, to film the dining hall scenes. It ended up being filmed at another one of the colleges on campus.
This is a picture at the front of Park Guel. Apparently Gaudi had something like 12 years to design elements of this park. He had coplete discretion, and there are some really strange/interesting areas. This is the famous lizard by the entrance to the park.
We totally lucked out with the weather. It was sunny and about 27 degrees celcius each day. We managed to go to the beach on two of the days, and I finally swam in the Mediterranean Sea. The only day it rained was the first day, where Christine went to bed early, I went for a walk. I stumbled upon a big fireworks display by the water (it was a major week long festival that week), and I ended up getting soaked!
Cristal Palace Hotel was great! This photo is of our hotel suite. We didn't expect it to be this nice. I think they may have actually bumped us, as there were two bathrooms, and two floors. Really Nice!
