Gordon had to work today, so Jean suggested a trip to Newcastle (home of the Geordies!)- just a short Metro ride away. We got in to this beautiful city and hopped on the double decker bus tour.
One of the most beautiful sights in the city is the new passenger bridge (a compressions arch suspended-deck bridge) across the River Tyne. It was most amazing to see it’s majestic opening.
We stopped for lunch and met up with a couple with “the devil children”. It was actually quite refreshing to see a British couple acting more like American parents- completely unaware that their children were causing entire tables to move as far as possible away from them in the restaurant.
Before we knew it, we were back on the metro and Gordon was arriving home from Sheffield. While Jean protested that we were having too many Indian dinners, we couldn’t get enough. We decided to walk to a local Indian restaurant—that seemed to be miles away.
