London: As a Tourist.
Liz and I took the day to embrace our picture-taking skills, put some wear on our sneakers and enjoy London’s mid-May intermittently blue sky. We ended up at a smattering of typical tourist spots to supply proof that, yes, we saw the things one sees when you visit London.
Such as …
… Big Ben and …
… a body of water within a huge, green park leading to another something rather notable and crowded (this is the case for just about every London park, am I wrong?) — this one so happens to be St. James’ Park.
Yes, we took a brief stop at Buckingham Palace, but I’ll spare you a picture, because every one I’ve ever taken of the place looks *exactly* the same.
We walked our way through Green Park and over to Knightsbridge, where we popped into this, off-the-beaten-path pub for lunch …
… a rather traditional fare of fish and chips.
After a stop at Harrod’s, we moseyed on over to St. Paul’s Cathedral, where we managed to catch the “17.00 Evensong” — a service accompanied by a young boy’s choir.
Something about it felt like Christmas. Must be because I only ever go to church on Christmas.
Off to bed for now. Tomorrow, a morning at the V&A and a walk around my old neighborhood awaits, with an afternoon and evening still to be determined.
Anna! You made it! And are having fun! Congratulations!
