Erica's Mum tells me that Erica loves London and would dearly love to come to this great city that I love and hate all at the same time.
It's not been possible for Erica to come here yet so here is a flavour of the city just for her.
These photos have all been taken on a dull afternoon in the space of around four hours and the surface of the city is barely scratched. I will, on a better day, go and find some more photos for you Erica.

I sat here as an "Armchair Traveler" this morning, finding myself smiling, laughing, and feeling such joy at being able to see such a sophisticated vibrant city. I am in love with the bookstores and the teashop and and and.....Your kindness toward Erica in dedicating this suburb gallery to her has touched me deeply. She is at school right now but I am sure she will be very pleased and honored.
