London!

Whoooo hooooo.... London!




















So many incredible sights and experiences.... I'm just gonna start posting the pictures.















If you travel to London, you MUST take one of the double-decker bus tours.  It's a great way to see all of London in a day.















Yes, I'm standing in front of Westminster Abby just a month after Wills and Kate tied the knot!  A gorgeous cathedral.





















A ride on the River Thames.... part of the Big Bus Tour package deal.  Again, highly recommended as a great way to tour London.  Ride the bus to one end of London and take the River Thames boat ride back to the other end.  Just lovely.















Another fabulous view of Big Ben and Parliament.




























The fabulous Tower of London where the crown jewels are kept.  Before it was a tourist attraction and home to the crown jewels, the history of the Tower is infamous for the location of many be-headings. 




























Wish I could show you a picture of the crown jewels and all the amazing gold and sliver additionally housed in the Tower of London; unfortunately, NO pictures allowed.  The English are just no fun at all.

Back on the bus for some more sight-seeing.















Do you recognize this view?  Buckingham Palace!














A beautiful fountain across from the Palace with a hot tourist posing for his picture.































So that's our whirl-wind tour of London city..... but don't think I'm done posting about our incredible trip to England.  Nope.  Still need to share our experience visiting Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath.  All three amazing experiences.  More fun ahead!
