Beniiiii...I must say your trip to London has somewhat discouraged me from travelling out there this summer. Maybe it's the winter climate that causes such a 'greyness' in people? Can't say that Canada is that much different where I'm from...Love the pictures and happy to hear from you...

Oh my goodness...
you've became a philosopher! :-) Nice impressions though you brought us from London. But I'm really wondering if you enjoyed your trip, probably not and I know the reason. Your cousin was missing ;-) I'm looking forward to our next travel together! Love you. Kassra ps: Please say hi to your mom and sis
