    I asked friends for advice on London and Facebook collected all the suggestions on a map for me. Very neat!  https://www.facebook.com/nelson.minar/posts/10155419663715864 …

    The older I get the more anxious I get before long trips. Totally irrational. Fortunately Virgin Atlantic is very civilized.

    "Is there a doctor on the plane?" Surprise diversion to Keflavik, but professionally handled by airplane staff. Made it to London.

    I would never have guessed a David Hockney exhibit would be almost sold out. Glad I checked!  http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/david-hockney …

    Tomorrow's plan: Sir John Soane Museum (19th century house), also the Hunterian Museum (anatomical oddities). Advice welcome!

    London is a great city for walking, taking busses, taking the Underground. So why is so much space given to private cars?

    I realize I should be a grownup about this but I just took a train towards Cockfosters. Two days ago a restaurant offered me kid faggots.
