During the second week of our trip, we made this side trip to London, a rather lengthy train ride, to visit my dad’s cousin, who was a career diplomat and was stationed at the time at the Canadian embassy in London.
He and his wife had two children – Lisa, who was a few months older than I, and Stephen, who was younger.
After a couple of weeks at my grandmother’s with no kids of my own age around, it was nice hanging out with my cousin, whom I had not seen in a couple of years.
We talked about music, school and (mostly) boys.
A highlight of the visit was a matinee performance of Phantom of the Opera, for which my dad’s cousin had used some connections to get tickets.
