On our way to the Tate Modern to start our day in London
Ran into a living Magritte on the Millennium Bridge
Looking back from Tate Modern towards St. Pauls
Anyone` can make art. Something we saw in Tate Modern.
The quintessential British childhood photo. Took it as we were having lunch on the banks of the Thames.
The Old Globe Theater on the Thames. A re-creation.
Have lunch (with white tablecloths) while you cruise
Not Captain Hook's, Jack Sparrow's or any other fake pirate's ship
Our guide told us when completed, this would be the tallest building in London
Guess what we went under?
An odd mix of historical and modern
On our Thames boat ride
The same warship as the next pic. Pretty interesting the way the colors change.
This was one of the more unusual photos I got that day. A warship in front of the Tower Bridge
I believe our guide said this was London's new City Hall but don't hold me to that.
The Tower of London
The Tower Bridge
Our tour guide for our quick Thames boat ride. Pretty funny fellow.
During our boat tour on the Thames we saw a number of interesting buildings. Actually lots more than the next few pics would suggest.
The Tower of London. We visited in 2003 when we spent a week here. See it if you come.
The Gerkin!
On top of the old fish market
I wonder if that's old Sam on the deck?
St. Paul's pointing its head out
An obelisk on the Thames
Big Ben
A very regal eagle
The London Eye. We went up in 2003. Great views.
One of my favorite things in London is the art you find everywhere.
Big Ben just after noon
Walking up Whitehall
#10 Downing Street-Home of the British PM
A very cool monument to the women of World War II
The US Embassy (we think)
Horse guard just up the street from #10 Downing Street
Lord Trafalgar
Love these lions. Wish I could get a pic with no people.
Currently rocking Trafalgar square
The steeple of St. Martin-in-the-Fields church
Part of the gate on St. Martin-in-the-Fields church
St. Martin-in-the-Fields church
Inside St. Martin-in-the-Fields church
A beautiful seal in St. Martin-in-the-Fields church just off Trafalgar Square
Kathleen under the Once sign.
Outside my favorite store in London
Inside the London Apple Store. It was HUGE!
Look, The Mousetrap is still playing. Opened in 1952 when we were born. We saw it in 2003.
We finished our evening with a performance of Once. A wonderful musical! Go see it.
