Waterloo Bridge

Yesterday I had a meeting across the River Thames from my office and had to take a cab because I was running late. When I exited the building following the meeting and turned left onto Waterloo Bridge, I was smacked in the face with the fact that I live in London.

I certainly know that I live in London, but sometimes the daily grind makes me forget. I get up, get dressed, play with the family, get on the train, go to work, get on the train, go home, eat dinner, put the kids to bed and check email before retiring. We can watch American shows and eat American food. And while we try to do things beyond what we'd normally do in the U.S., and weekends are spent exploring the city right now, it is easy in moments to forget we're in London.

That is, it is easy to forget, until I turn a corner and literally to the right of me is the London Eye and to the left of me is Big Ben. London doesn't get more in your face than that.
