London’s iconic landmarks make it very easy for us locals to take out-of-towners sightseeing. And no matter how many times you’ve done it, it’s not easy to tire of the walk from green park towards Buckingham palace (assuming you’ve avoided the changing of the guards ceremony) and then towards Westminster and the London Eye. The Thames looked smashing today, reflecting the lovely blue sky. The parks were full of crisp, fallen autumn leaves, the sun shining through the trees. We took the tube from Westminster station to South Kensington to take in the natural history museum. Winter is coming and the ice rink is up and running outside the museum.

In Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, recently on business I walked about one evening to be charmed by an Orthodox Church and the shades of fall.

autumn, Bulgaria, Sofia

Sofia looked lovely to me last week in the autumn weather, shedding its leaves. A lot of people argue it isn’t beautiful but I find it hard to not see even the slightest charm in a place. And I especially find it hard to resist cool crisp mornings followed by sunny afternoons, warm enough to enjoy a Shopska salad outdoors. I hate to say that yet again we hardly spent any time looking around – all the walking about was done at the end of the day in search of a good restaurant. More on that and barter of services in a later post.
