Randy:
We headed off towards Buckingham Palace, but decided to have anice picnic lunch in St. James Park. And note the sunshine, we actually sought out shade!! David found some British Air Cadets to exchange notes with in St. James Park. From there, we headed down towards the Thames and towards our ride with the London Eye. We split up intio two patrols with some just walking/touring around and others heading to the London Film Museum - apparently the "tardis" was calling.
Yep...another busy day. We headed off to London today for a tour of Parliment, by a nice ex-patriot from Georgia, and it was really interesting. As usual the building was amazing and we learned alot about the history of the British government, and got to stand on the floors of both houses. The old section of Parliment was built before 1100 - and we got to stand on the spot where William Wallace - among many others - was tried.
I think everybody's favorite activity of the day was the ride on the "Eye". The views were incredible and the weather was perfect!
