Long, long ago

I pulled out the old photo books--yes, this was long before digital cameras--to look at the snapshots I took the last time I was in London. Let's say I didn't show any early talent as a photographer. I also have very few pictures of me or my traveling companion. My best friend in high school was Dutch; her father was at the Dutch embassy in Denmark so after we graduated, we got Eurorail passes and backpacked around, staying in youth hostels. Frankly, I'm still amazed that my parents went for that plan. So here's a picture of Piccadilly Circus--or at least that's what I wrote on the back on the photo.

And here's Big Ben.

And here's the only picture I could find of me. I think it was taken in Switzerland. Nice bovines in the background, eh?
