As promised, I have returned. Europe was great and I can't wait to go back. To sum up my trip briefly:
London: a bit rainy but some days were lovely. Went out to Windsor Castle on the nicest of day. Also went to the Victoria & Albert and British Museums. Did a lot of walking around as well, although London is so congested now with traffic and tourists that this isn't easy. One piece of advice: if you ever go to London and anyone suggests you sign up for the "Hop On/Hop Off" all-day bus pass, do not do this. The routes are circuitous and, because the traffic is so bad, the buses move very slowly. Better bet: get a five-pound all-day tube pass and zip around town via train. One thing you should also do is visit Harrods, the huge department store, where I did the equivalent of window shopping (I had no interest in spending my life savings there). There I saw the most obscene thing ever: the Diana and Dodi memorial. Apparently Dodi Fayed's father owns Harrods and, in the lower ground floor, has erected this huge, revolting memorial to their non-existent love affair. You've never seen anything like it. A must see.
Paris: beautiful beautiful weather, beautiful, beautiful people. The rap that all French people are snooty is untrue -- the French folks I met were lovely although, considering how awesome France is, they have lots to be snooty about. We went to the Musee Orsay, Notre Dame, and the Cluny Museum, probably the best medieval museum in the world (if you like the Cloisters, you MUST go to the Cluny). Also spent some time in the stunningly gorgeous Luxembourg Gardens and, on our final night, ate at the wonderful Bofinger Brassiere, the oldest restaurant in Paris. A lovely place. Paris is everything it's cracked up to be and so much more. If you haven't been there then you must make a pilgrimage before you die.
