Later (I hope so) I will sort out some of my best photos, and will tell a couple of small stories about\u00a0the things which I&#8217;ve found interesting and worth to be mentioned, while there &#8211; including, maybe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My visit to the\u00a0Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b, Baker Street;<\/li>\n<li>the London Eye and Big Ben (one can&#8217;t really pass through London and then <em>not<\/em> to mention them;-);<\/li>\n<li>the incredible number of cyclists on the streets of London, which are exremely fast (and extremely cautious, at the same time &#8211; <em>all<\/em> of them ride with front <em>and<\/em> rear LED\u00a0lights at night);<\/li>\n<li>the funny adventure with the squirrels in the St. James Park (and one photo which my wife liked so much);<\/li>\n<li>the Guiness beer, or why people like to drink this really terrible beer (I do not know the <em>why<\/em>, actually, but it was interesting for me to try it for the first time);<\/li>\n<li>and a couple of more impressions from this big, old, colorful city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For now, that&#8217;s enough, I believe.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am going to put on my jacket, to fill up my Aldo Morelli pipe with some aromatic tobacco, and\u00a0go on a\u00a0slow walk with my lovely wife\u00a0&#8211; because calm, peace,\u00a0and not to be in a hurry for some time is what I lack the most, lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some may wonder why suddenly I stopped writing in my blog.
