Clock-wise

It seems that every time I come to the United Kingdom, I notice something new. This time, I chuckled as I listened to traffic reports on the radio describing roads as queing either clock-wise or anti-clockwise. For you Chicagoans, can you imagine a traffic update telling you about clockwise or anti-clockwise queues on the Kennedy tomorrow morning? It's neither right nor wrong, but I often prefer the British ways of speaking or writing. More than anything, it's fun.

London
Right after my arrival on Sunday, I went to London for the day. My co-worker had never been, so I walked with her around the city. We started at Harrods, walked through Green, Hyde and St. James Parks, stopping by Buckingham Palace along the way. Then we arrived at the Houses of Parliament (see below) and Westminster Abbey, and finally Trafalger and Leicester Squares. Not a bad day's walk. I don't think I would ever grow tired of London's appeal.

Work
Oh yeah! I am here to work. Not much to say about that, but I should get some shut-eye in preparation for tomorrow!
