Londontown

We stopped in London on our way home from Spain. A few observations:

1. I really do love the ritual of afternoon tea, with scones served with Devonshire clotted cream.
2. People smile a lot more in Spain.
3. It's hard to remember that a pound costs more than a euro.
4. It's really nice to NOT be using an outdoor bathroom (see prior posts) and to sleep in a big soft bed with Frette sheets. With no mosquitoes in sight.
5. The Selfridges sale is a crazy place. What recession?! See the photos below - there was a line of 15 people waiting to get into their little Louis Vuitton boutique. Don't they know that LV never goes on sale?!
6. We had dinner at a beautiful old restaurant in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, called the Criterion. Modern British cuisine. The ceilings alone were worth the price of admission. Which was pretty high.
7. Soft serve ice cream tastes better with a Cadbury's Flake stuck in it.
