I'm also going to place a little tribute here for an amazing person that became a friend... he passed away last night.
Layton Kor he was revered and respected as one of the legendary climbers of the world...famous for big walls and first ascents..his ascent of the Eiger http://www.alpinejournal.org.uk/Contents/Contents_1966_files/AJ%201966%20256-260%20Gillman%20Eiger.pdf
I was lucky enough to meet him decades ago when I was out climbing..and we climbed together several times and did routes that he had made famous. He had a twinkle in his eye and a childlike silly sense of humor. He will be missed.
Saw one movie about that Eiger effort, it is really scarry mountain. Respect.

I think the soul of a city is in the hidden and out of the way places.  I was awed by things I saw along the canal...

Haha, I live less than 10 minutes walk from Regent's Canal. I've never been. 
Caruut are you serious?? google the map of the canal...it is so interesting..and the locks etc along the way  and Florrie one of these days I would love to see the canals in Amsterdam and country..!! it looks beautiful!  oh and Caruut..there is a funky little Canal Museum near Regents... it is interesting and I like little out of the way quirky places... http://www.canalmuseum.org.uk/history/tunnels.htmI visited the Regents Canal near Kings Cross...there also is some Banksy art on the walls nearby...

That's so cool, Mew, canals are awesome. I've seen some docus (I love architecture/renovation/interior design programs) on river boats and they also spent lots of time featuring a canal, can't remember which, but it was in the UK. I have always wanted to see the canals in the Netherlands, that's a dream for sure.
Darn, the vid won't play on my phone *grrrrrr* will have to catch it later on the laptop.
