Euro-blog 1: London pt.1

Well it aint quite what I expected.  Had a very non-warm welcome(coming in pt.2).  My first thought was how are people in such a cold gloomy city so chill? I’ve met so many nice people and am actually surprised.  First round here is catching up on all the sleep that was skipped over then going off to see London and Westminster.  Truly beautiful cities! I appreciate the upkeep of history and culture.  The older buildings are just so beautiful to see. I tell ya though, this city is filled to the brim with cameras!! They literally have cameras watching other cameras; I assume this is to make sure the 1st camera isn’t tampered with.  One huge reality to which I was immediately presented is the decreasing value of the U. S. Dollar.  I was absolutely shocked to learn that I brought what equaled about half of the money or value of the money that I thought I brought…..Still not sure how I feel and what I think about this place, but I’m leaving room for it to grow on me.
