London Is The Best! Thursday, May 26, 2011

I simply love, Love, LOVE London!  It has the most amazing energy and vibrancy.  We are staying in central London, in the Theatre district, so it is a very busy place.  But so different from a Calgary "busy". It's like a grown-up version of a large city from Calgary's.  Even though people are rushing here & there, there seems to be a calmness about the whole thing, an overall atmosphere of patience & politeness about their rushing around.  And the shopping.  Oh my God, what shopping.  Talk about feeling like a little kid in a candy store.  I didn't really buy very much (remember, I already had 6 suitcases full of stuff), but thoroughly enjoyed being "teased" by all the shopping possibilities.  In addition, I enjoyed just wandering about the town, taking in the atmosphere.  Spent some time in the National Gallery.  There is so many paintings available for viewing, one could easily spend a few days there.  So suffice it to say that I spent a few very enjoyable hours.
