					<description><![CDATA[Since the arrival of our guests I have realized how accustomed I am to the things which once overwhelmed me about Life in London.  It's so nice to share our London experience with good friends.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t think I mentioned that Quinn is a Brewer.  I mean, that is his profession.  Yes, I am serious.  You can see why pubs were so carefully woven into our visit with J &amp; Q.  On Tuesday evening we had dinner at <a href="http://www.drewandjengotolondon.com/2009/03/tortilla-islington/">Tortilla</a> before enjoying a round at The York in Islington.  Hiccup.</p>

<p>We had high hopes for baking in my one and a half butt kitchen after dinner and drinks, but somehow became distracted by ice cream and wine.  Hiccup.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/8092917.stm">tube strike</a> may have thrown a wrench in the plans of the happy vacationers, but you wouldn&#8217;t know it by talking to them.  I am guessing that traffic was horrendous for their double decker bus tour, but when is traffic not bad on the bus tour route in London?!  They have recommended <a href="http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/restaurants/alpino-info-8374.html">The Alpino</a> in Angel Islington for a tasty <a href="http://londonreviewofbreakfasts.blogspot.com/2006/05/alpino-islington.html">breakfast</a>, by the way.</p>
<p>Wednesday evening we met J &amp; Q at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese.  (I wish they could have met Kerry and Emily in our basement spot!)</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="http://www.drewandjengotolondon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/cheshire-drinks.jpg" alt="cheshire drinks" /></p>
<p>We supped on vegetarian pie, macaroni and cheese, and (un)spicy chicken.  If we had stayed for another round the bar tender had promised to let me pull the beer.  Hiccup.  Nah, I&#8217;ll have to pass.  The night ended earlier than I wanted – I knew that tomorrow morning would come all too soon and our friends would be flying home.  But I was exhausted.  Beyond exhausted, back to wired, and then exhausted again.  I think we managed to giggle a little while longer back at the flat before the big crash.</p>
<p>Thursday was a flurry of breakfast at Piccolo Deli and hugs.  I didn&#8217;t cry until the doors closed on the lift.  I did look forward to sleeping in my bed again – it&#8217;s been 23 days – but I wanted my friends to stay more than I missed my room.  I wasn&#8217;t sure I was ready to be alone with my thoughts and I could think of a very long list of things we didn&#8217;t do or see.  Alas, round two of guests had come to an end.</p>
