London Town

So, there haven’t been any updates to the blog in quite a while and I apologize. I’m back in London again after a quick trip to Canterbury. Being in London has made me realize how much I’ve missed the hustle and bustle of a city at Christmas. There are lights everywhere, Christmas music on the radio and everyone seems to be in the holiday spirit. That being said, there are also a lot of idiots out there making it miserable for the rest of us and transportation in London can be unreliable at best, but nevertheless, great Christmas vibes.

I’ve been up to London maybe 4 or 5 times now and every time it gets better. The lights and decorations are great, and last night it was 0°C, which means it is going to snow any day now.

I went to see the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square, which is a yearly gift from Norway in thanks for their friendship during the war. I’m assuming the war is WWII, and I didn’t realize that Norway was involved, but it’s a nice gesture nonetheless.

Also making a photo op are the decorations on Carnaby Street. I absolutely loved the chain links that run down the street connecting the buildings.
