Buckingham Palace (The Queen was home, said hello, she was pleasant.)
Parliment on the Thames from the London Eye
Big Ben (It's pretty big, but I don't understand where the "Ben" comes from.)
The Thames River from the London Eye
The Tower of London -- Henry the 6th died here May 21st 1471 (That's a long time ago.)
London Bridge from the Tower of London (One of the best pictures of the day.)
I also took a picture of a sweet gold chalice in the Tower of London, but was immediately barked at as soon as the automatic flash went off by two Beefeaters (not a derogatory word, look it up). The room was dimly lit and the cup was behind glass. I chose poorly. However, I speculate from the vast number of gold cups and enormous solid gold punch bowls -- yes, punch bowls -- that these guys enjoyed a drink or few in the day, but in awesome style.
