Today I think I’ve suffered some sort of mental whiplash. Our group was taken on a bus tour of London, led by an extremely knowledgeable man named Nigel. He is a retired policeman who now is a certified, blue badge, tour guide. This man has forgotten more about London’s history than I may ever learn, and the beautiful thing is that he still loves his country. He talked with pride about all the different war heros and politicians whose memorial statues are scattered throughout the city, and entreated us to examine and appreciate the architecture of the surrounding buildings. His zeal and excitement was absolutely contagious, and has made me even more determined to traverse this town and find all its secrets. So... thanks Nigel!
