“Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.”
–Samuel Johnson
I couldn’t have expressed this better myself. We are homeward bound today (on my birthday–what better way to spend it than five miles above Greenland?) No doubt I’ll be unpacking our experiences for some time to come. Photos from this trip (and others) are available here.

Hope you had a safe journey home.
Sigh…if only I could afford all London has to offer.
Thanks, Collin. Easiest flight and readjustment yet. Would be easier to afford London if the dollar weren’t so weak.

Happy belated BD!
Thanks. I feel old.
Dr. Johnson is one person whom I would have liked to have met!
Strange – I distinctly remember the entrance to Pembroke College, Oxford – but had no idea it once lodged such an important person.
Welcome back.
Thanks, Nick – you too – to your own respective corner of the New World.
