We had a busy weekend of walking all along the Thames to see the London Eye, Houses of Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey (mostly from the outside). Lots of good pics, and it was beautiful weather to walk around. On Sunday we also went to the Tower of London, which continues to be one of my favorite touristy things in London. Here I am during our walk on Saturday:
We have some good self-photographs too from St Paul's and the Tower of London. I'll share them when we get them uploaded!
Also, I am happy to report solid progress on the London to-do list:
1. Tower of London - went on Sunday
2. Tate Modern Museum - afternoon visit in February (great thing to do by yourself, for future visitors)
3. National Gallery - one of the first things Derek and I did together...we loved the impressionist rooms
4. Harrod's - checked off very early on (shocking)
5. At least a couple of shows in the West End - three down, ??? to go
7. Ireland - flights booked for when Erin and Eric visit
8. Spain - working on dates for Barcelona
15. The Portobello Road Market - see aforementioned plate purchase
16. St. Paul's Cathedral - visited this weekend, but saving the full tour for Mom and Dad's visit
17. Westminster Abbey - saw the outside, need to go inside
18. Houses of Parliament - ditto
Phew - less than four months left to do the rest, plus see a football match, go to Bath, Amsterdam, and maybe Scotland. We're going to be tired by July!
