One thing immediately impressive with this group is the way they charge the city. We have a smart and adventurous group. They are uninhibited, but always travel in small packs--the way we like it. After checking in to the Royal National Hotel in Bloomsbury, many hopped on the tube heading for Speaker's Corner. This is where anyone can get on their soapbox (you have to be at least 8 inches off the ground to speak) and rant on any issue--mostly its politics and religion. While people can get red-faced and arguments ensue, what's great is most adversaries finish with a hug and a smile. There are some kooks for sure--how about that misogynist bold guy holding a poodle, what was his shtick?--but it was a stimulating introduction to Europe. Here's a picture of Eric, Forest, Marcelo, Shawn and Tyrone. Many others made the trip, including Bryant DeRoy who throughly befuddled a religious advocate attempting to convert him.
