This is one of my favorite shots from London. No monuments, no buildings, just a pretty girl in the Underground.
I actually had to go to London for work, but since I was going to miss Nadya's birthday the following week (I went to Poitiers for the PG Kickoff for four days), I thought this would be a good opportunity to extend the trip and have a nice time with Nadya for the weekend.
We stayed at the Millennium Gloucester in Kensington and spent the weekend eating, walking and touring with Navida. On Saturday, we went walking around central London and had dinner with Navida at a Chinese restaurant in China town. On Sunday, we all went to the British Museum (and saw the Rosetta stone), wandered around town and had fish and chips for lunch.
For the next two days, I had to work, but Nadya was able to see the British Library and do some great book shopping (we don't get a huge selection of English books in Paris).
