I met people that actually helped us get around. M This was my 3rd time in Paris, and same impression. Don't get me wrong -- I like Paris, but it's just a big dirty city with some cool stuff in it. 
As for London, despite the nasty atitude I got from folks I ran into, I found the city very charming. I don't attribute my experience to anything more than chance, and the fact that all big cities have this nasty attitude in it. If I had run into nice folks, it would have been different. Plus at a few restaurants folks were being seated and waited on much quicker than my family. I'm playing the race card here, but I found no other reason for that treatment. Again, not enough to keep me away--I loved London, and will visit it again when I visit my sister again. Though the #1 city on my list now is Edinburgh Scotland

Who wants to do a mini-invasion Endiburgh? All my visits to the UK over the last 7 years and I haven't been up to Scotland yet. We could go there on our honeymoon. |

Mitchell HATES getting his picture taken. So when you take any pictures of him, he clams up and puts on a stone face or an angry face. | |

That's the Ely cathedral. It was the largest cathedral we visited (even larger than St. Pauls, though St. Paul's has a huge dome, second only the St. Peters). I would say that Ely is on par with Notre Damn with it's grandeur, though Notre Damn feels more haunted. | |
