  Followers of our blog know that we thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and engaging them in conversation. Be it fellow travelers or local residents, this has consistently proved to be a very pleasant and rewarding experience. The countries to which we have traveled, the tourist attractions and unexpected surprises encountered, have all been amazing. However, the making of new acquaintances has provided us with some of the most joy. Presented below are the folks we have met, thus far, in London;
