A view of London’s great river. I think they call it The Tim’s.

If you have read about our trip to Paris a couple of years ago, you will recall that said exploit was in lieu of (notice my mastery of the French language) the nonsensically luxurious and exorbitant high-school graduation party that is all the rage nowadays. Our children have opted instead to spend a like amount of money traveling to the destination of their choice: Thing 1 chose Paris (see previous sentence above); and Thing 2 chose London. It is this latter escapade from which we have returned some time ago that I now relate for your vicarious reading pleasure. On a thematic note, you will notice that the Thing 1 Paris trip was all about art and architecture while this Thing 2 London trip was a tribute to pop culture and its anomic icons.
