Welcome to London. My mother flew into London yesterday for the first time -- and I'm getting sentimental over the days when arriving in London was exhilarating and new! I guess the downside to living here is seeing all of the things I take for granted. It is infectious, however, and I can't wait to start showing her around. Friday morning we're off to Paris which will really blow her mind! We're staying the St. Germain de Pres and I've already picked out the intinerary and restaurants. I'm hoping she'll have the time of her life!
