Unexpected Bonus

When we envisioned moving to London, we did have certain pictures in our minds.
Castles.
Double decker buses.
Darling little front gardens.
Men wearing those chimney-sweep hats.
People having tea mid-day.
All that.
But what we didn't realize was the richness of London's (and it's Burroughs')
ethnic diversity. For example: Jer and I were very kindly invited to a
Holiday Drinks party just this past weekend. The hosts were parents of one
of Shayna's friends and were very gracious to include us in their annual
party. In the span of just a few very enjoyable hours, we spoke not only to some
very wonderful Brits but also people from Brazil, Italy and Israel. There were
probably more from other countries that we just didn't get a chance to meet
(we hung by the snacks and drink tables - duh!). Then, throw us, the Americans,
in there and it was a very international soiree!
The thing is, that would be a big deal in America.
But here, it's just part of the package.
A very nice part.

Ciao!
