Things I Learned Today in London...

1. Brown suede boots and a wool pea coat are not appropriate for a rainy day, unless you want wet feet, socks stained the color of your boots, and a weird-smelling coat.

2. I have yet to master the "lift and twist" motion that allows Londoners to walk on tiny, crowded sidewalks with giant umbrellas. They all just lift the umbrella up and gracefully turn to the side to pass me, while I fumble with my umbrella and get squished in the crowd. Maybe it will come with time. In the interim, my apologies to every Londoner who has been hit, poked, or wacked with my umbrella.

  1. You should stop wacking people with your umbrella. Hitting and poking is understandable, but wacking? Clearly intentional.
