Happy Easter From London! Although it was cold today it only rained in the morning and the sun broke through periodically. After watching a few hours of the Niketown London annual easter football tournament I took a 2 1/2 hour bus tour of the city. Get out your pen and paper I have a couple fantastic London trivia questions for you.
The clock tower pictured is known as "Big Ben" its actual name is the Westminster Clock tower and thte bell at the top of the tower is known as "Big Ben".
Everytime you enter and leave the actual city of London you will pass a Dragon statue on either side of the road. Some are simple some are detailed. But all are a fantastic welcome to the heart of London.
The Kinnaird House in West London near Trafalgar Square was the location where travelers picked up there tickets for the maiden voyage of the Titanic.
And finally making the trip worth the 25 pounds, Texas is the only US state to have an Emabassy in London. The only problem is when they started construction they only finished the Cantina! Of course! I'll be eating there this week and giving my full report!
Easter is a week long holiday here, people start taking vacation on Tuesday and they won't go back to work until Tuesday. It's kind of nice seeing more that 75% of businesses closed today unless you need milk and then you are treking to every shop you remember seeing to see if they an available pint.
I have been struggling with my running a bit due to a cold I seem to have aquired, the bike at the gym is my new friend while battling the evloving English cold.
Have a great Day, Miss you all!
