Libby in London - Second Day

If you like architecture, you would love this city! It has old and new and they intertwine to make London beautiful.

Today, I visited Westminster Abbey and St. Margarets,
















took in the sights of the Houses of Parliament and walked across a bridge prior to Tim meeting up with me.









We both, then rode the London Eye together














and walked back to the hotel, stopping at the Abraham Lincoln statue in Parliament Square just across the street from Westminster Abbey.















The London Eye is quite higher than it looks, and although I was a bit nervous, it was fascinating and I'm so glad we did it. I'd read online that it's a waste of money and perhaps it is a bit overpriced, but the views (if you have a clear day) are spectacular, so it can be worth the price.

 Here's a shot of the street on our walk back. It doesn't look like it here, but London, even in the off season is busy, busy, busy. And crosswalk signs are ignored as often as they are obeyed. We've seen lots of close calls, but no accidents so far. Dinner tonight were Steak Pie for Tim and Chicken, Chardonnay and Pancetta Pie for me. Delicious. It's a good thing I'm keeping up with the walking!
