We took London by storm.

This morning we took the train into London. It was a very calm ride after walking 20 minutes to the station. The weather was great.

We saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St. James Park, and Buckingham Palace.

Carol, you were right Wesminster Abby was amazing! I was enthralled by all the artwork, carvings, sculpture and etc. It has been here since AD 960. Amazing how it could stand and still be functional. I cannot fathom how some of the intricate artwork was done, no modern tools and what a sacrifice to finance it. The Abbey has to be seen to truely appreciate, it is so awesome.

Big Ben is sooooo tall. Actually Big Ben is the bell inside the tower; we all just call the whole thing Big Ben. A picture has to be taken a block away, nearly, to get the whole thing.

We walked over to Buckingham Palace. The muscles in my hips were howling. [Wesley, I know that feeling you get in your hips now.] We could not go into the palace as the Queen is there. The gates are impressive artwork, and statues surround. The statues sometimes have spike things coming out of them to keep the pigeons off. Speaking of pigeons, they would land at your feet and beg for food practically.

We rode in a cab home from the train station, rest assured it was a Ford. It was a Ford Galaxy, but nothing like the old Ford Galaxy of the 60's.

Katie fixed Bread Crumb Chicken, fresh green beans, jacket potatoes, and a Coco Chocolaterie dessert. My blood sugar will not get high because we will walk it down.

This has been a wonderful day!

I trusting you are all well and happy.
