This adventure is nearing to an end. Bo and I have just landed back in the good ole US of A and are at the airport waiting for a connection. The customs agent gave a warm welcome to us which lightened my heart and made me glad to be back home.
I'm going to keep this post fairly short because I have taken a lot of photos the past couple of days in London and I want to post them here. So I'll keep the words scarce.
Suffice it to say we had a great time across the pond, and the last couple of days in Londy were delightful. I'll have more thoughts at some point and I may or may not post them here. Life will soon be back to it's busy pace with more events and adventures that will most likely be shared here on this wonderful tool we call a blog.
It's good to be home.
See photos...
We spent a good deal of time one afternoon strolling in the area near Buckingham Palace, House of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. We were tourons, no doubt, in a crowd of them but it was good stuff to see nonetheless.

We also spent a pretty fun evening running around the Tower of London castle and bridge. This is a must to visit if you are in London.

Tower bridge pano. I didn't bring a tripod, so it had to be done handheld.
