June 11-17 London

Joe and I decided to go to London to meet with my Mom and Dad. They were coming over a couple days before going on a cruise. Unfortunately, due to a string of events, they came over a day later than they planned, which gave us only one day to visit. However, it was wonderful to see them again.

I have spent some time in London before now. A few years ago I spent one month during the summer here, and loved it so much I came that winter and spent 2 1/2 months, so coming back felt a bit like coming home. The highlights of the week Joe and I spent here included: seeing Westminster Abbey, St. Paul´s Cathedral, Parliament and Big Ben, going to see a West End production of Les Miserables, Windsor Castle, to name a few. We spent most of our time in Camdentown, which is by far, my favorite part of the city. It is an area in London where alot of subcultures meet, be it hippies, punks, goths, musicians, artists, etc. It is creative and unusual and a place where anything goes and everyone could be whomever they want. I have never found a place quite like it.
