Monday, July 11
Hello,
Missy, (sister who lives in Omaha and arrived last Saturday), Dad and I all went into the big city today. We took the Hop On/Off bus and didn't even get 1/2 way through the tour. We got off at the British Museum, then got back on and went to Trafalgar Square and a pub lunch. After that we went to St. Paul's Cathedral, which always makes me break into--
Feed the birds
Tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence,
Tuppence a bag . . .
Followed by Super-cali-frag-il-is-tic-ex-pe-ali-doh-shus, even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious!
We got back on the bus and went to Westminster Abbey/Big Ben, only to find out the Abbey closed at 3:30. Out of luck there. We decided we would take the tube back to Molly's, since it was slow going on the bus (heavy traffic). While being underground means losing the view, it was well worth it. We'll go back in tomorrow and see Westminster, Buckingham and Covent Garden. If it isn't raining, maybe a canal boat ride?
Here are some photos. In case you don't know this--the classic, well-known British phone booths are being removed. I am glad that Kaohsiung has one. It's outside a British Pub there. I hope he knows how valuable it is now.
