The Londoners, as seen from a bus in London.
People watching is my favorite. All the things you wish were true for yourself remain possible because you can transfer them on to the crowds milling around the sidewalks. See! There are people confident in their own skins, true love does exists, long lasting friendships endure, adventures are to be had, and, there's always a moment of peace to be found.
Whenever a vacation is too far beyond the horizon (or budget), I'll take to a coffee shop or the park. Admittedly, it reeks a bit of the pathetic, maybe even the creepy, absconding with pieces of other people's lives for minutes at a time to escape my own, attaching character traits and stories without care for their actual lives. But some days, you have to take life's little gifts instead of waiting around for them to find you.
