Today's post is dedicated to my two amazing tour guides:
 | |
| Looking lovingly at each other over Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin's grave - the exact place where Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein and Godwin's daughter) was wooed by Percy Shelley. |
While in London I did a lot of reading...ON THE STREETS!
The Brits are good about giving you kindly directions where ever you are:
On the walking paths:
Getting on or off the tube:
At the edge of every street crossing:
 |
| Opposite of what we are used to... |
 |
| Particularly helpful ALL the time. |
And their other signage is so civilized and polite as well:
 |
| Instead of EXIT |
 |
| Instead of YIELD |
 |
| "Be More You" |
Today's poem is a 'sign' of my appreciation to London:
head bent
eyes down
along the streets
words are found
"stay to the left"
"mind the gap"
both are hard
when reading a map
word on the street is
London's the best
lots of directions
for every guest

We love you, Jeanette! Yes, London was a must-see and will be a must-return-to. Maybe with you and Mark someday?
