I had the great opportunity to visit London for the first time last week. In addition to attending a conference and meeting a lot of great new friends, I took a little time to sightsee as well. Not one to be afraid of wandering about, I grabbed a map and set out. Across the street from my hotel was a lovely park and cutting through there led me directly to Buckingham Palace. Just down the road from there I found Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and more. Such a fascinating city and such beautiful architecture! Tragically, I was only there for 4 days, so didn’t get in much more sightseeing. But I did manage to visit Harrods the day before I left and, wow, the selection in the food area! And I can’t forget to mention the delicious curry I ate while I was there, for more than one meal! Overall it was a great visit and I hope to be able to get back again in the future, next time when I have the ability to spend more time exploring that wonderful city.
