Out in the countryside then, wasn't it. Hard to imagine now.
You have to go a long way now to find "countryside" from Crosby Hall. I wonder how much that area has changed. Carlyle's house was just around the corner. And at the corner of Beafort and Fulham - a great creperie called Asterix, with Asterix characters on the wall. I wonder if it's still there? I'll Google and see if I can find out... Hmm, not on a quick search, no, but there are restaurants of that name in both Greece and Kentucky.
How fortunate to spend serious time in London.
It was incredibly wonderful!
I hope you spent a minimal amount of time actually studying! :-)
Hee - I studied hard! And went to all the plays I could.
That city got under my skin like... I don't know what, but I can't shake it.
Me too.
New York is nice
Fascinating, and exciting, but strange, too. I love New York but I never have a feeling of being at home there.
Los Angeles is fine
I've enjoyed all my visits to LA, but I hate the city! It's horrible for someone who likes to walk everywhere: too hot and too spread out.
Paris is lovely,
That it is. Another city I am eager to return to. And the food! La cuisine!
Kathmandu is wild
Haven't been there. I'd love to see it.
Boston is mine,
Boston is lovely. I like the people, and the literary/historical connections, but it isn't as rich and resonant as London. My favourite cities in the US are Seattle and New Orleans.
but London.... London owns my soul.
London is great in just about every way.
my ideal would be to have an invisible time machine and to be invisible myself.

Cool. Stealth travel.
