What to report for Monday and Tuesday? Really nothing other than standard tourist stuff so I won’t expound beyond making the following suggestions for inclusion in your visit here. Over the course of the two days we were to St. Paul’s Cathedral, Pret A Manger, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, various Tube rides with our newly acquired Oyster Cards, dinner in the townhouse (yikes!), Covent Market and Shops, cappuccinos in a variety of places, morning coffee with treats at Patisserie Valerie (home of the best visitor internet service in the city), Sir John Soane Museum (one of the most fascinating places you will ever visit when you go there http://www.soane.org/), the London Silver Vaults (http://www.thesilvervaults.com/), more beautiful old and new buildings and, of course, flowers everywhere.
To date we have had pretty good weather including a perfect day on Sunday. Cool and cloudy for the most part, misty today but nothing to disrupt getting around and viewing the city. So far we are happy with our decision to spend extended time here. Some out of town travel coming up including this weekend in York to see that city and visit with my friends Jacquie and Gail, two professional archaeologists who I work with in Belize.
So too many pictures today from traveling about the city the past two days plus I am also including more of my shots of the differences in our English languages and interesting signage around the city. It will take awhile to get them all labeled.
