Hi Everybody! Finally here are some pics from the grand European adventure! Willow and I had a wonderful time! I certainly enjoyed being with her as we made our way through 4 countries. Starting out in London, here we are on the "weak bridge" (there was actually a sign that said just that on this bridge!) that we crossed each day as we made our way into London. Hammersmith Bridge is actually a strappingly strong gorgeous Victorian structure.
Our first evening in Londond we rode the "eye". This is a huge (not kidding here!) ferris wheel that gives one a stunning bird's eye view of London. Here we are in the bubble compartments - you can not even feel the eye move as it makes its rotation. Here is the Thames river and Parliment to the right as we look out of our bubble.
Big Ben! in its gilded glory. When I was in London in 1977, this clock tower was black with soot and one could not even tell that it was gilded. I was sure impressed this time around!
Willow in front of the carved door of Westminster Cathedral. We spent a long time in Westminster reading about all the knights, kings, and queens buried there. And the famous poets corner where Chaucer, Tennyson, Dickins, Hardy are buried among other literary greats. Look for more European adventure installments in the coming days/weeks! Love Mom
