Where in the World?

I arrived in London Heathrow this morning at 5:28 a.m. It’s wonderful to be back for a few days. The weather was typical; somewhat cold, cloudy with a little rain. That bothers some people, but it never really bothered me. It’s just what this part of the world can be like. I never let that stop me from doing anything here.

I love the fact that you can walk around everywhere in London. It makes for a richer experience than driving from place to place. The tube system (subway) is easy to use as is the bus system. I’ve always felt safe using both, though I prefer the tube and walking as I never quite know where I am on the bus.

I went into my exploring mode, which means I don’t know exactly where I’m going. I choose the direction from a starting point and then follow my nose. Babi, who I haven’t seen in over a year, met me for the afternoon and evening. We walked along the back streets near Leicester Square, Covent Garden, SoHo and Piccadilly Circus.

Great food. Great conversation. Great cappuccino. Lots of diversity. Masses of people. Cosmopolitan city. Culture. Art. Music. Adventure around every corner. These are some of the reasons I love London.

Have a great day!
