Literally and Figuratively, London Fog
... Primary School, and her childhood home, Chiswick Village. The memories she has hold her in a warm embrace as we pass. Our ride into central London is uneventful; traffic is light at 10:00am.
We're housed at the London Marriott County Hall Hotel at Westminster Bridge which is immediately adjacent to the "London Eye" the giant observation wheel across the Thames River from Big Ben. Nearly 500 feet tall, the Eye looks like a ...

espresso and we had JUST enough time to catch the boat as the weather was
subsiding. By the time we arrived at the houses of parliament down the river
the clouds had parted and the sun came back out. We got some great photos

Abbey. The streets were littered with trash and water bottles from the
aftermath of the marathon. Even though ...
