Writing again!

For about the 4th or 5th time this year, I am going to try to re-dedicate myself to writing this blog. I've been inspired by some comments recently, about people enjoying reading this, so here I am...

It's been about two weeks since returning to the US from England, and I've been digesting the experience, as it was a lot to take in. Fortunately, we got to see parts of London, like London Tower, the Eye, Parliment, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, all the biggies...

Here are some photos...

The view outside our hotel room in Kensington... Someone's back garden, I suppose...


I believe this is near Wellington Arch, and that could very well be Wellington on the statue behind me... This was taken on Wednesday, our first day in London-town...

I told you, all the classics.... Big Ben.

Tower Bridge. It's almost like a hat.

Tower Bridge from a distance, with HMS Belfast, and some sort of cruise ship tied up in the Thames together.

A good shot of Tower Bridge from the Tower of London itself. Sue took all of these photos, I should let you know, as I forgot my camera on the trip! Not a smart move on my part, but fortunately, Sue and others were able to document the time there very well.

The Tower of London, from our bus tour. The first buildings in the Tower started in, I believe, 1067. So, it's almost a full thousand years old the oldest buildings in the center. The White Tower...

This photo is looking towards the Thames from the side of the Tower. It was before we went in for our tour...

Our tour guide... A member of the British military, and a guy with a good sense of humor, which is important in a tour guide, I believe... I wish I remembered his name, and I wish I knew we were supposed to tip him at the end! Live and Learn.

Inside the Tower, with some ruins in the foreground...

Westminster Abbey, it was actually closed to tours by the time we got there, which is one of my few disappointments from the trip, as I really wanted to see inside, Poet's Corner, and just breathe in the history...

Another Abbey shot, for goot measure. A beautiful place....

Tomorrow, I'll post about the Genesis meetup, and show you all some photos from that fun event. All of these photos were taken on Wednesday or Friday of our trip...
