London’s Gone!

Well, London is not really gone… it is just that I have left it. I had a wonderful and brief visit. I went touring for two and a half days and saw many interesting sights. I went first to the London Eye, which is a huge Ferris-wheel like thing and saw lots of London. Then I went to a famous wax museum. Later I got to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, Parliament, a cruise down the Thames, the Tower of London, Bath, Windsor and Stonehenge. It was quite a busy, but good couple of days. I also have been enjoying a real winter after spending 14 months in sub-Saharan Africa. It is quite a nice change. I love the cold!!!!

Right now I am on the train from London to Paris and we have just come out of the Chunnel in France. We should arrive in Paris within about an hour or so. We will be here for two full days (after today) and then we will go to Amsterdam. I will be in Amsterdam for about 15 hours before flying home but my mother, because of some confusion in our plans, will be there an extra 24 hours. I look forward to being back in the US after so long away.
