London

We arrived in London yesterday. Hurray, no more driving on English roads. Instead we took the train into the city and boarded one of the Big Bus Tours. Spent the day riding around London. Went to Hyde Park and to the Natural History Museum, as well as seeing Parliament, 10 Downing Street and Westminster Abbey.

Here's the Horse Guards.



And Big Ben.



Today we went to the Tower of London. Here's the armor of a knight on his horse.



Here's a couple of Yeoman Warders, the guards who live at the Tower and do tours.

  1. I have been wondering how the driving was going. I picture you on a two-lane country road whizzing along in a little red, sporty car with the breeze in your hair and nary a care in the world. Should I have instead pictured a wide-eyed, steering wheel gripped, frazzled driver tempted to close her eyes from time to time? (ha-ha) Trust your travels continue to go well, your picture collection to grow, and even more your memories to swell such as will last a lifetime.

    Looking forward to seeing you back soon!
