Farewell Weeked to Liz

Liz heads back to the UK (for good) tomorrow, so we have spent as much time with her as possible during the last few days. Her departure saddens us greatly as she has been such a wonderful friend who always brought laughter and cheer everywhere she went.

We went to dinner at The Long Room--a tapas/sushi restaurant. Seems like a frightening mix, but the restaurant is quite large and the food is segregated, so it worked pretty well. Unfortunately the decorator chose marble topped iron tables that impaled your legs with iron rods when you sat down.

This poor guy adorns the entrance way to the restaurant...

Here is Billy eating the octopus to frighten Liz. I think he ended up removing the head so that she could eat it, but I think she ultimately refused. Eating pieces is a lot different than eating it whole... a little scary.
Where's Billy?We went to brunch with Liz yesterday and then played tennis in the afternoon... despite the light rain! It was her very first time hitting the ball, and she shows true promise... A few lessons and she will give me Billy run for his money.
