London. Home of the Queen. Bangs and Mash, fish and chips, and "Big Ben". Oh, and there's a road called Abbey that's kind of famous as well, and a few old stones everyone seems to visit. 

Cheers :)

Anyone care to explain?

It's nearly springtime here in London. 
Even here at Windsor Castle, where the Queen spends her weekends.

I'm not a cat person (sorry!), but this is the second coolest cat I've met here in Europe.

I remember reading about this when I was young. To finally see them in person is amazing. 
Plus, I was waiting for the UFO's to land on them again like they did when they were first built...

Did I mention it was spring here?

This is the TOWER Bridge, not THE London bridge.
(Although it is a bridge in London).

Also watched "Billy Elliot" tonight in the theater district! I first saw it in New York almost two years ago, but to watch it in the country that its about was even more amazing. 

I've got one more full day here in the Union, and I'll do my darndest to post some more photos. If not, I'll have to do it when I get back. I've been gone for three weeks now! Missing home!

Thanks again everyone! Cheers!!!

Other tourists dressed alike who actually got the picture similar to the album cover. One guy even took his shoes off (a la McCartney.).
