Fascinating tales about my life on the way to and living in London

Pictures!


That is the Tower Bridge at dusk. The first week I was here, Ben's friend Chad came down from where he and his wife live near Birmingham and met us in London for some sightseeing. We did a few of the major spots in central London and the next night we all headed up to Chad & Laurie's (about 2 hours on the train) for dinner. It was nice to have someone show us around a bit!



Me & Ben by the Tower of London. This was the only day that it really rained much in the last 3 weeks.











Chad & Ben at St. Katherine's Docks













Me on the walkways over Tower Bridge - looking down towards Canary Wharf
















View of the City from the bridge. The "City of London" is about a square mile of land that comprises most of the downtown business area, but not a lot of people live there and it gets fairly dead on the weekends.














Big Ben
















Typical view from the top of a double decker bus













Westminster Abbey












Buckingham Palace

Yay, photos!

Also, I'm impressed with the complete lack of people (relatively) at Buckingham. Every time I walked by there, it was always packed.

The guard only changes every other day in the winter...maybe that's why? I don't know, we were there for about 5 minutes.
