London

Just some thoughts about London. So so many people! It seems as though the whole world lives in London and they ALL take the subway. Some trains were as full as the Vancouver ones during the Olympics. I hears a stat as to how many people they transported in a day but forget it. It was just unfathomable! Walking down the streets you were forever bumping shoulders. Way to many in our personal space. Of course had nothing to do with my weaving. It also seemed as though the entire city was undergoing restoration. I am sure it has probably looked like that for years and will continue for many more to come.
Every where we looked the was scaffolding and cranes. I heard it said once Vancouver will be a lovely city when they are done with it. Well London looks like it is being redone. Seems to be a lot of arab influence here too. A lot of building look like they are like the ones in Dubai. Old and new side by side.
The architecture was absolutely amazing. How they built those buildings so many years ago looks impossible. The gargoyles, the ornate spires its just incredible. All the old churches, many that are used for anything but a church. Seems to have been left behind here. Too bad. Most you can see the dedication used to build them. It is such a shame.
We have had fun but are both more than ready to get back to our hum drum lifestyle. At least for a while anyway!
So far no big thrills today but we will keep you posted as to where we are during our travels home.
