First Day in London--A Photographic Essay (with some words)

Fate brought them together.

We've arrived and we're eatin' a Cornish Pasty (paa [like baa]- stee)

Westminster Cathedral, not Abbey.  This isn't what a lot of lost tourists want to believe it is.
But, it's nice and Catholic and pretty inside all the same.  We went to the REAL Westminster
on day two.


Prince Albert Memorial Gates in Kensington Gardens
About 30 seconds from our hostel.  It was so rad.
I'm usually there in the picture, for scale.




Tower of London


Beefeaters.  We love them.

Traitor's Gate at the Tower of London-- Not a happy place.




White Tower--the tallest building in Britain for quite
some time. Building begun in 1067.  Also, the walls
are 15 feet thick!  That's like, three of me...thick!

Paul at St. Paul's
Thanks for the "Burger with
Rocket" (Rocket = Arugula),
nice organic farm lady!
Dinner at the Covent Garden "Real Food Market"

















And then we went to see "The Lion King" because it was THERE.
end day 1

  1. Fate ... or me? Did you get hot chocolate and/or macarons?

  2. Fate...and you. ;-)

    Fate because this was the first thing we saw walking off our train from the airport.

    You, because then I made Paul get a macaroon for us to share. I even took a picture to send to you as proof.

    The caption is: Sara Rocks...as does this raspberry macaroon!

  4. Shoot, Sherrie. When you make your Triumphal Return it's going to be waaaaay more Triumphal. Probably because there's a good chance you won't be sleeping on bunkbeds in a room with 4 men you've never met before in your life.
