I made it to London yesterday, not without a misadventure where I mistakenly took a train from the airport to Brighton. I eventually got to London and found Julie. We enjoyed an evening on the town, exploring pubs and shops. I can't say that I'm a big fan of London. There are way too many people and too many odd, modern buildings that detract from the historic ones. Picadilly Circus looks an awful lot like Times Square.

Today we took a train from London to Glasgow, a five hour journey through the English/Scottish countryside, and then a second, very short train from Glasgow to Milngavie, where we will begin the West Highland Way tomorrow.
Derek's parents were from Glasgow and he still has relatives here, so we caught up with them this evening.
