One of my favorite places | Look kids, Big Ben, Parliment! |
This makes 7 times I have been to London in the past 20 years. It is truly one of the world's magical places and should be on anyones "to do" list.
I have never made a trip in which London was my end destination. It has always been a day here, three days there, two days here. In this time I have seen most of the major tourist attractions and now I am trying to branch out and see some out of the way stuff.
I hope the exchange rate drops soon. I have another Middle East to CONUS trip in November and will lay over on the way back. |
| Been there, done that, got a 20 year old tee shirt |
|  | Millions of pictures Every tourist takes pictures of all the big tourist sites. I am no exception. Here is a grainy photo of me at Tower Bridge. |
|  | British Cricket Fans In all my visits I never saw a group like this until 2001. These cricket fans were on their way back from an International Test Match and I asked if I could get their photo. Three said sure and one called me a "Cheeky Yank" and turned his back to hail a cab. I guess that is his best side. |

DAO Tue May 20, 2008 22:16 UTC A very Happy Birthday to you James. Glad to see you still have your head to have a drink! Hope you continue to stay safe and all the very best! | keida84 Tue Nov 1, 2005 02:05 UTC a great perspective on London. I appreciate the tip about the "guides nee crooks" that can fleece a visitor. I will be heading to London this January. Thanks for the effort you put into your pages, Kat | Bwana_Brown Tue Nov 30, 2004 10:23 UTC It was great that you had the time to grab some beers and a few sights in London! Definitely one of my favourite places too, really must have another look! | londonlover Mon Nov 8, 2004 05:37 UTC I like the artsy, foggy tint to your pictures! Can't wait til I've been to London six times. :) |
