Some of my favorite things about London in no particular order:
Westminster Abby- a mish mash of statues, burial sites, alters, choirs and a royal throne. Lots of history, burials, weddings and a coronation or two. I loved walking around its many nooks and crannies but after awhile it all blurred together. The US has nothing to compare and I was awed on our first day in London. Or maybe it was jetlag.
The London Eye – a really cool big ferris wheel. So fun.
The hop-on hop-off bus which kept us dry the one day it rained. We hopped off and walked around Harrods department store. Too much glitz for our budget.
The day trip to Bath and Stonehenge was certainly worth it.
Amsterdam:
The Albert Cuyp outdoor market. The sun, food, flowers and energy. A great accidental find.
The Matthew Wong exhibition at the Van Gogh museum. This Chinese-Canadian artist moved me to tears. Such an expressive painter.
We really enjoyed riding on the canals and walking the city.
I write today from Paris where the good weather is holding. Today the Louvre! What a whirlwind trip this has been!

I am absolutely loving your trip! I look forward so much to each post. But I want more and more and more.
I’m likely never going to get the chance to go to Europe, so this is my trip too. I want piles of photos and stories. I could nag for hours to get details.
Like, how are you getting around most of the time? What kinds of places are you staying in? Are you finding it more expensive than you thought it would be? Did you just say, “what the hell!” and whip out a credit card?
My wanderlust is kicking in yet again. I’m considering hopping a bus next winter as soon as I feel cold and not stopping until I feel warm. And then I would begin a wander by bus throughout southern Mexico. Bacalar is on my list places to stop.
Don’t know if this will happen, but I’ll keep you posted
