| The queen's house. Well, one
of them. This is Buckingham Palace. Man, it must be a bitch to clean. I
hope she has some help. |
 |
| Guys in funny helmets on horseback
rode by while we were in front of the palace. There were a lot of tourists hanging around
the gate waiting for the changing of the guard. Except they didn't do that on that
day. Apparently, everyone else hadn't read their tourbooks. If they had, they would
have known that they do it every other day and they had done the changing thing the day
before. |
 |
| This is a statue of Queen Victoria
that's on a column directly outside the gate of the palace. Maybe old Vicky has a sense of
humor, but in every painting or statue of her ever made, she has a scowl. Maybe it
was hemorrhoids. |
 |
| Here's the clock tower of the
Parliament building, with Big Ben and everything. We couldn't get in. I wish we could
have. Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to watch the coverage of Prime Minister's
Questions in the House of Commons on C-Span. |
 |
| A statue of Winston
Churchill. Not much more I can add to that. I wonder if that's his scooter. |
 |
| The London Underground. They
had old trains. They had new trains. They were all crowded, but the tube is a
handy way to get around. |
