1000 words

You know how the saying goes, a picture being worth a 1000 words and yet Instagram hardly has a thesis. I bring you this photo this evening because I already turned off the light and don't plan on relighting it to take a bunch of blurry photos of my handwriting for you to torture your eyes on the jagged edges of my script.
This evening I present you a simple photo of me and the bear on a bridge. Nothing to exciting I guess. What if I told you I had just travelled from Toronto to London via Iceland in a sleepless redeye? Was navigating London with two oversized suitcases and a toddler? Had just made it out of the subway to find a road closure and a heavy police presence?
You see, we arrived in London a week after a senseless act of violence tore through this very bridge, killing pedestrians then subsequently leading to a police officer being stabbed.
We had heard about the events, but hadn't realized our arrival to the bridge was coinciding with a memorial ceremony that was about to get under way. We made our way off the bridge through the gathering crowds on the sidewalk, made it to our Airbnb and slept like logs till about midnight. As I lie awake I realized why everything was closed.
That's got to be 1000 words by now.

London is a very beautiful city on a sunny day, I've had good luck to experience a few sunny days there and it really is a plethora of history and eccentricities.

Thanks buddy for your information.

An unfortunate fact that went around the world.

Yes it's sad that one bad person can leave so many broken families in his wake without remorse or justice.

Interesting your trip and it was a coincidence that you came across that ceremony. You know, I'm very interested in your title because I recently saw a similar Eddie Morphy movie.
Many Regards and Happy Day!...

Was it The Nutty Proffesor? That hands down is my favorite Eddie Morphy movie😄

It was pretty awesome, basically took one full day to foot it through the city before moving on to Paris. The bear only slept on the move😁 Luckily he's a pretty easy going guy. image.jpeg

You bear is all cuddly and London is a the city with the best museums of the world. DESFRUTA!

image.jpeg I've been to the Louvre and MOMA, so best...? maybe there history museums would be fun to explore, I'll definitely go back with the bear when he's older, won't have to carry him sleeping as much.

Up to you about what you like.
For me Tate and Tate modern are brilliant! And also the British Museum is a must see.

super @bleedpoet and son
