From Paris we passed through the Chunnel and spent a few days in London. We visited friends, including Sarah and Karen (they introduced us to several of their lovely friends...thanks, you two) and Nigel and Joe. I also went to Oxford for a day and visited with Nigel, Simon (from the Madrid portion of the trip) and others.
We had a great time and London Pride was a great party (despite the rain). The only glitch was the unfortunate loss or theft of my passport. We ended up staying an extra day so that I could have it replaced by the US Embassy. Hurrah for bureaucrats...they were damned efficient and nice.
