Joe and I decided to go to London to meet with my Mom and Dad. They were visiting there a couple days before going on their British Isles cruise on the Crystal Symphony. Unfortunately, due to a string of events, they came over a day later than they planned, which gave us only one day to visit. But it was still 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 back that winter and spent another 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, Big Ben, a West End production of Les Miserables, and 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 a lot of subcultures meet, be it hippies, punks, goths, musicians, artists, etc. It is creative, unusual, and a place where anything goes. I have never found a place quite like it.
