London Again...

So we had some lunch in St. James' Park to sustain us for the rest of the day. And once fortified we passed by a curious bit of sculpture. Buckingham Palace was on the way but the Queen was not in - probably in Windsor with the Corgis for the weekend. The Guards were not dressed in their summer ceremonial but in their winter greys. We didn't mind! Some very ornate insignia could be found on the gates. The eye was our last stop and we had some pretty good views of London as you can see. The House of Parliament in its full glory. As we were leaving the Eye towards the train station we ran into a bunch o mimers. They were great. Some dressed head to toe in silver or gold. If you gave them a bit o money they would do something like wave or bow very slowly or make a funny noise. Really good. J-Rock enjoyed it - Only problem is we ran out of change so had to stand by while others anted (sp?) up!

Is that lady on the picnic bench a mimer saying, "Please carry my groceries for me"?

And some trivia for Geo-Savvy KT! Did you in your travels go as far as the Bleasdell Boulder? It travelled 40k to its current resting spot, a 'boulder's throw' from where we live!! Ever cool! Largest 'erratic' (I learned that word from KT) in North America! A tourist destination for when you return.
