Yeah, english again. Although I still don’t understand everything said to me and crossing the road is kind of like crossing in Amsterdam. Look both ways constantly. At least bicycles hear don’t seem to think running over pedestrians is a great sport. Wayne and Maggie are going to design t-shirts for amsterdam with bike tread running across them with the tread spelling out Amsterdam! Million dollar idea!!!

I find I’ve stopped listening to voices around me just assuming that I won’t understand what’s being said anyway. Our London flat bedroom is right on a busy street and only on the first floor (2nd floor in the U.S.) so we hear lots of conversations, traffic and sirens. I still don’t understand much even when I try. I do try to pick out passing motorcycles by exhaust sound though!

I’m just going to tack on a few pictures I took from the bus our first couple days.

Some kind of naval office? The tour commentary didn’t say what the building housed. But it was on a government street.

Good example of London’s eclectic mix of old and new architecture. Mostly thanks to WWII.

Whoo Hoo! can cross the London Eye off my to do list.
