Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Sat, 11 Feb 2012 11:46:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gini http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/12/18/london-trod/#comment-77232 Gini Fri, 22 Dec 2006 02:37:53 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/?p=784#comment-77232 We perused that book fair while we were in London this summer. It was fun, but not impossible to escape from. You should not overly regret your choice in moving on. We perused that book fair while we were in London this summer.

It was a beautiful day, wasn't it? I walked down through Whitehall to the Houses of Parliament and around that whole area. I just find it weird that someone I'd been reading about for a long time was in the same city at the same time as me. How sad is that? I can’t believe we were in London at the same time!

The Cabinet War rooms are phenomenal for a history buff. Seeing the map of the North Atlantic filled with holes tracking the convoys, just down the passage from Churchill's bunk, brings his war writings to life like nothing else can. Another great stop is the City Museum, just a few blocks from St. Paul's. For that matter, hiking to the top of the St. Paul's dome thinking about the Londoners who made the trip with buckets of sand or water during the Blitz is another "Blast from the Past".

No doubt about it. Especially the part where you refer to the books sale under Waterloo Bridge - that got me heart pounding. And the way you described the War Museum - Good GOD! I almost felt as being there in the middle of the advancing armies. Keep on with good work! Your Friend, Pat Hey, Dude

Cabinet War Rooms was one of my suggestions, as was book shopping - so I guess I score a near miss on two counts. There's always books for sale under Waterloo Bridge, so that's something else you can go back to some day. There's more choice on Charing Cross Road though. Yay!
