OK, is there something bad about calling it 'Frisco'?
Nah, not really, I'm just being a snob. ;) It just marks you as a non-native; no one who lives here calls it that. It's "SF" or "the City". It really is one of the greatest US cities, along with Seattle, New York, and Chicago (in my opinion). Where does Angel live?
We barely even scratched the surface of London, I know, and I really want to get back someday. Our visit was pretty much a glorified stop-over. We mostly focused on museums -- the Tate Modern, the museum of design (I forget what it was called) -- and walking around the city streets. We walked across the Tower Bridge and around the outside of the Tower of London. There's a Roman wall structure around there that we saw, and it totally boggled my mind to realize that it was the oldest thing I had ever ever seen outside a museum. That's the big difference between Europe and the US I think -- how much older everything is back there. If something is more than 50 years old in SF, it is positively ancient.
