London has some great sites but also a lot of dirt and garbage. I like Paris a lot but I'm a bit ambiguous about London. It can be a great city but it is also very hectic and crowded. It can be beautiful and it can be nasty. I really like Trafalgar square and st Martins in the fields. But Hyde park is no match for any of the Parisian parks. Next week I'll be in Birmingham and Wolverhampton, curious how that will look like. Cheers, Michiel Fokkema bruce wrote: > Yup, that's London. > > Superbly represented ....................
