Your posts are making me want to go back to Europe. *le sigh* I also find what you wrote interesting: "I was crammed up against an Indian man in a business suit and trying not to bump my nose on the hardback novel a woman next to me..." It's interesting that you mentioned the ethnicity of the man but did not mention the ethnicity of the woman. I would assume she was Caucasian since it wasn't mentioned. I could be wrong, however. Just an observation. I love your style of writing. Your posts are making me want to go back to Europe. *le sigh*

Especially the British bit - I am from Liverpool. The coffee thing made me luagh - you have to ask for 'filter' coffee and that means properly brewed coffee - and this sentence in particular "The thought of museums does not typically tickle my willy, but the V&A displays clothing, silverware, jewelry, stained glass and more, " HAHAHA Tickle My willY!! what the heck does that mean in America because it's quite rude here! Thanks for your insight into this country!!! love Liz x I absolutely LOVED your account of your trip! Especially the British bit – I am from Liverpool.

In four years, not a day went by that someone on the bus didn't talk about the speed humps. Re: Humps

I have to sort of pretend it does not exist because it is about 300yds from my office, and I would be at serious risk of daily cupcake intake. So I make the occasional visit when I need to buy treats to reward my team... I did not miss your visit however as I was not working on Friday! On to Paris next you lucky girl. Enjoy!

He hated it but I liked looking at the old clothes and assorted chotchkies from bygone times. What a fun trip you are having. I can't wait until I can re-do our London/Paris trip again.

You are going to love walking around there. If you get the chance to go to Barcelona, do it. :) My family is Catalan so I can give you a list all sorts of things to see in the area.
