These photos below (sorry about the repeat of the Parliament photo) are from an outing in London last weekend... Lyndsea and I flew together and set out to the big city planning to go to the Tate Modern. of course we managed to get kinda lost but that's my preferred method of exploring places. We ended up discovering St. James Park which is so beautiful. From there we could see Buckingham palace- I think there's a photo on here of that building... walked down to Westminster abbey, houses of Parliament, Big Ben, etc. then alongside the Thames to the Tate Britain. Ran through there, looked at some favorite paintings (Whistler, Rossetti, Waterhouse, Sargent) and then took this water taxi across the river and down to the Tate Modern, saw the great crack there (shibboleth) and some work by Magritte, de Chirico, Louise Bourgeois, and on and on...then we walked across the pedestrian bridge which leads right up to St. Pauls cathedral. caught a train to liverpool street and back here....it was an exhausting day altogether but beautiful, sunny, and pleasant. watched the rugby match until i fell asleep.
so anyway, that explains these photos below except for the couple on the plane, we just got bored after service and i broke out the not-broken camera that ken loaned me to use. great fun!
right now im in the hotel room and about to get ready for the flight home. i slept most of yesterday after we got here cause i was tired and the weather was dismal. next time, i'd like to go to cambridge... we'll see... but this trip was sleep, read, go to pub, go back to sleep....
hoping for a chill flight tonight and then back out on Sunday afternoon....
