This isn’t London, This is Asteroid City!

How did I end up here?

I thought we were going for a walk.

Or a ride on another train.

I did get to see the missile up close.
It was safe – it says right on it not to detonate without presidential approval.

Next thing I know, I’m in a very strange downtown.

Of course, we were looking at real estate.

I like lot 4397, It is AC sized. About 3 feet by 3 feet.

The lot is just one of many things you can buy from a vending machine in Asteroid City.

But maybe the best part was the diner. It had lots of (pretend) food and drinks choices, but we settled on the oil can Gin and Tonics. We must be close to London after all.

A Wes Anderson movie is not for everyone; but Andy and I do like his quirky sensibilities. We had a great day combining seeing the movie Asteroid City at a lovely theater in Covent Gardens and then going over to the exhibition. It may look years and miles removed from London, but it was on The Strand, not far from St. Paul’s Cathedral.
