Mayfair

My final London walk of this trip yesterday - this time around the posh neighborhood of Mayfair.  At least I assumed it would be posh - after all, why else would Mayfair be the most expensive property in Monopoly?  And sure enough, Mayfair is indeed incredibly expensive.  Full of high-end properties, upmarket shops and restaurants, and luxury hotels.  This was an interesting walk, but busy and not particularly photogenic.  And somewhat soured by experiencing the worst nerve pain in my left leg that I've ever experienced towards the end of the walk - a condition that I've been increasingly noticing during my stay here.  So, so painful.  Don't know the cause, and a definite cause of worry.  And something else health-related that I need to deal with.  Made me even more self-conscious than I already was walking around this neighborhood in my cheap and poor-fitting clothes.
