OBSERVATIONS




Observations about London
- Very very friendly and helpful people
- amazingly easy subway system
   * well marked
   * voice activated information so clear and easy to understand 
   * frequent trains. We never wait!  Seriously, non-rush hour, rush hour - no more than a minute's wait. While I sat reading on the subway I read an article about the mayor of NYC waiting for 20 minutes for his train and finally gave up!
 - so so so much to do!  SO MUCH. 
 - lots and lots of opportunities to get lots and lots of steps. So far our highest in one day18,579. No wonder we are exhausted. 
  - expensive!  Pounds go as if they are dollars!  Example: a pub beer 4.50 pounds = $6.75. But that didn't stop Geof!!
 - chilly, but fine.  Rain, but only at night so far!!  (Note: read day 6 ☔️)
 - no leash law!  No worries cuz the dogs know. 
To be continued......

- a lot a lot of people smoke. Young people. It's actually alarming. Like home, there's no smoking inside anywhere, but outside it's a free for all. Surprising.
