My first visit to London and Europe in June 1974

 


By Tower Bridge circa June 1974 

I was fortunate to be given the tremendous opportunity to go to Greece and London when my father took me for 2 weeks (if I recall correctly) in the school holidays period of June 1974. That is 50 years ago !

This is a picture of pudgy me in front of Tower Bridge in a red sweater and Nana Mousskouri glasses. I had and still have bad myopia and have been short-sighted since I was 9 years old.

My memories of my first trip to London was that  the climate was cold (maybe high teens) and dry so much so that my lips cracked after a few days upon arrival.
