Happy Hundred!

Yesterday, We were ALL feeling bored from the daily routine, so we decided to take Zee into London to see the sights. Since it was a cold and gloomy day, we opted for the Big Sightseeing Tour Bus which would take us ALL around, show us ALL the sights, keep us warm, and ALL the while entertain us and teach us about London. Well, first of ALL, we sat in the lower deck; however, Zee wanted to try the upper, open-air deck so we went upsatirs. It was freezing cold and we had to wait for an empty seat in the semi-covered part so as to be a bit warmer. Still, over there, the wind was blowing from behind us and we almost froze to death. It had been almost one and a half hours since the beginning of the journey and we still hadn't seen any sight. So, cold and miserable, and seeing that it was a rip-off, we decided to get off the bus. We were walking towards Selfridges to get some lunch when I suddenly tripped and fell smack on the ground! Ouch! And to top it ALL, it began to rain, so we had to run, me with my limp, Wiss holding us both each in one hand, to catch a taxi! Ah, thank God for the London Cab. He took us to James Street where I knew there were tons of restauarants to choose from. We chose Cafe Rouge, for we hadn't eaten French food in a while, and the onion soup and steak frites sounded just right after our ordeal. Boff! The food wasn't that great, but mashi el hal. We then took a cab back to Victoria Station. We were telling the cab driver about the stupid bus experience we'd had, and he told us he could have taken us ALL around for much less and in a much warmer surrounding. I didn't want to go back home completely defeated, so I asked him to take us to Buckingham Palace. We stopped in front of it, took a few photos, then did the same in front of Big Ben and a few other nearby sights and went back home with proof of a true 'London experience' for ZEE!!!

Now, if you are wondering about the title of this entry, well today is the 100th day post transplant!!! Yayyy!! It's supposed to be a big deal, a kinda milestone. So, hamdillah, and hope for more and more healthy hundreds of days! To celebrate, Wiss is taking us to Canterbury for the weekend. We will also get to see Meena singing with the choir in the Cathedral! So, it should be a fun and entertaining weekend. Will tell you ALL about it when we get back. Wish us luck.

mwah,
