My trip to London this week coincided with a thick blanket of fog that covered southern part of the country for most of the week. It was a pretty amazing thing to witness. When we landed, we descended into the clouds, and the next thing we knew it, were on the ground. Visibility was non-existent, and it took us about an hour to get to the gate. This caused major delays at the airport,  not because it affected takeoffs or landings, but because planes couldn’t see where they were going on the taxiways. All this caused the airport to cancel most domestic and European flights, causing major headaches before the Christmas travel season. Maybe I’m bad luck: last time I visited London, there was a strike at the airport.

Aside from the weather, the trip had a couple highlights. I got in a pre-dawn run through Chelsea to the banks of the Thames. “Pre-dawn” sounds more ambitious than it really was, since the sun came up at 8AM this time of year. Still, the streets were empty, and the streetlights were on, which made for a fun atmosphere to explore the city. We also enjoyed a nice dinner at Le Suquet, a French seafood place. I had a smoky bouillabaisse and an entree of scallops in wine sauce.
