Natalie and I crammed in just about as much sight-seeing as was humanly possible in our first night in England.  This way to the Air Raid Shelter!!!Glad to know where that is, just in case…This was my first time visiting the Tower Bridge.  I don’t know how I managed to avoid it the last time.  It reminds me of Disneyland!Natalie is wondering what makes the Thames so murky…  I recall seeing a dead squirrel floating in the Oxford Canal.  Pretty sure the entire river is filled with dead squirrels.  I had a dream about it.That building looks like an Easter egg.  I can’t recall what it is at the moment… silly Brits!  They are definitely much more creative when it comes to their architecture.  I suppose it’s because they have had a longer time to work on it.  It makes for an interesting and unexpected skyline.  The London Eye does the same thing for the other side of the river.At St. Paul’s Cathedral I was fairly certain I heard Mary Poppins singing.This is the Millennium Bridge! Super exciting.We ended up at a great pub by Trafalgar square and met a few friendly Brits.  It was soooo wonderful to be in a real pub again!!!

Natalie and successfully navigated our way through the long tunnels of the Heathrow airport. I always think of “Love Actually” when I walk into that long stretch after Customs where everyone greets you.  (If you are reading this on Facebook, click “view original post” to read/see the rest).

The place we crashed at last night is a part of a Christian camp, so it has that kind of nostalgic, delightfully musty feel that makes me almost remember some hazy happy memory. (Read on …)
