Center of the World

London is not only an interesting city - it also feels like it is in the center of the world.
When we are in New York, we can take a short airplane trip south to the Carolinas, Georgia or Florida.
When we are in London, we can take a short airplane trip south to Germany, France, Holland, or Belgium.
Today I was talking with other American women who have been living in London for several years. They have taken advantage of this central location and have travelled (not traveled) all over the world whilst (not while) they have been here. The women in this group, have been to Thailand, Russia, Morocco, India, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, China, Japan, ...... the list goes on and on. What is more, their KIDS have been to these places as well. It is such a rich experience for everyone.
It is not surprising when you meet Americans who came here in their youth, and decided to stay here and make this their permanent home.
