First Day In London

This is a big place and fast moving, except when you get on the Hop on Hop off Bus, which we did hop on for a quick survey of the town. Unlike the rich geographic signposts, which we Washingtonians are familiar with, London is a flat so you need the blue dot to orient yourself as to where you are going. There is so much to see here, that we must come back for an extended stay. The city is sharp, very cosmopolitan, people dress with a sophisticated flair, so I am in good stead in shorts and my Stan Smiths. This is also a town that stays up late, even on a weekday. Amy and I were out walking around Soho and Bloomsbury, our hotel is nearby, after 11 PM and the streets were still bustling with people enjoying themselves. Today we will make a visit to the British Museum, also very close to The Montegue, our hotel, and then pick up our car for the run up to York. Driving in London you would be advised to know your left from your right. We are very grateful that our good friend Suzanne is hanging with our pups, and her’s as well. Of course we miss our children, of both varieties. Enjoy your day, more missives from the front are forthcoming. The picture from the tour bus is of St.Paul Cathedral, when we return next weekend to London, we must go inside!
