Pug’s Place

This is an intriguing place. The sky was still lit at 10:15 pm last night and Chris and Christi tell me that it was light at 4:30 am this morning. It is really that far north.

We did not do much exploring yesterday - we arrived in Gatwick at ~ 8 am and rode a “speedy” electric train from there 40 miles to Victoria Station. It wasn’t all that speedy - the train stopped twice, giving us good views of graffiti-covered walls, buildings and houses, old rail platforms with equal numbers of old and young people looking hurried, even on Sunday.

I did not get much of an impression of Victoria Station because we hurried to the taxi queue as directly as we could find our way. Seemed ornate, though (for a glorified bus stop). It is now 6 and Chris and I must depart for Wimbeldon - oh, it is too early!
