> Yes, and it was very nice very nice to meet you. Having met at Victoria station we retired to a pub and brunched. How anyone can have curry for late breakfast is beyond me. We had a great discussion on the merits of US vs English coinage. The Brit guys had a probably somewhat confusing talk about Blackadder.

Cool. I wish I'd had more time than 20-minute RinkMeetings done more or less spontaneously. ;)

It was July, not August... ;) So you walked down along the bank of the Thames, then? I did that a couple times, most notably when we didn't feel like getting a cab to go to the theatre and just walked instead. Did you walk *all the way* down to Tower Bridge, or am I inferring too much from your mention of the Tower of London? ;)

> While walking the Brits continually pointed out landmarks Maryam could take photos of to prove she was in London. These included red mailboxes, red phoneboxes, New Scotland Yard, a road sign "Parliament Square", Big Ben and the Millenium Wheel. Maryam evidently thought we were mad, asking us why she should take all these pictures.

Because it's COOL, that's why. ;)
