"If a man tires of London, he tires of Life"





















Four crazy, jam packed days were the extent of our last trip to London. We accomplished so much, but we were completed exhausted for the rest of that vacation.
This trip we have 9 glorious days to, again, discover more of London, England.
Walking this city is fantastic. Today we walked from Covent Gardens, through Leicester Square, crossing Trafalgar Square and again past through Westminster area.
Double decker buses and black cabs everywhere. We are always trying to remember when crossing the street to look RIGHT, then LEFT or you will be run down....they are still driving on the wrong side of the road!!!
Surrounded by the incredible smells of an array of multicultural food that you must try from typical Pub type eating, authentic England fare to Lebanese food. London also has many Indian restaurants and as a matter of fact we have reservations for an Indian restaurant, the day of the Wedding, called 'The Cinnamon Club.'
There are many examples of people doing their own thing, from soliciting money by standing so perfectly still, that you think they are statues in Piccadilly Circus to a very heated Libyan demonstration on Whitehall Road around the corner from Westminster Abbey.
Pictures above include the London Eye on the Thames River. With fantastic views from the top.The National History Museum. A big old Lion to climb at Trafalgar Square. Part of the Changing of the Guard. And can you believe, they even crown some of their street lamps!
