London

So terribly sad. I can't say that I was all that shocked. Poor London gets hit a lot. As my friend, Valerie (who is also American), put it. . ."My beautiful city has been scarred again by violence -- I just want to cry." I agree. But London is a tough old bird. I'm glad that, while they are terrible, the numbers of the dead and the wounded aren't worse. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone harmed in some way by this new atrocity.

This has done nothing to quell my desire to revisit my favorite city. My sense of London withdrawal (it's been two years since I was there) is still strong. And I can't wait to go again.
