Have you been here before? > Bob, this will be my 8th or 9th trip to U.K. in the last 20 years. The last two visits were primarily in London. (All visits of one week or more). So I have seen a bit of the city. On my last visit, in early summer, 2000, I spent my free evenings and one afternoon hopscotching about the city: take the tube for a ways, pop above ground, wander the environs for a while, often walking to the next tube stop, then back down for a jaunt to another almost randomly chosen area.
I enjoy interesting buildings, people, scenes . . . the texture and color and feel of a place. I couldn't say that there is any particular "must see" among the standard sites that I haven't seen at least in passing. But I also couldn't say that I have captured the essential photo of any one place. So, in short, I am happy to wander and to let my eye be guided by others who have seen the locale through different eyes. Its early morning, don't know if I am making sense . . . stan
