I Shoulda Thought Bout That

Well, we started the day off with a cruise down the River Thames. It was a beautiful day. Sun was shining with hardly a cloud in the sky. Yesterday I forgot my sweater and was chilled all day long. Today I brought my sweater and never put it on. We took the boat from Westminster Pier (near Big Ben and Parliament) down to the Tower of London. We decided since we were there we would go into the tower. We were treated with a tour led by one of the Beefeaters. After the tour where we heard all about the bloody gruesome history of the city of London, we checked out the Crown Jewels. Now that's some bling (no pictures as they weren't allowed in there and I didn't want them to behead me if I snuck some). While we were on the tour we were standing there in the sun and I thought, "why didn't I bring sunscreen?" (I now have a bottle to try to stave off further burn). Springtime in London, that's not what you really think about. I was more concerned about rain while here. We haven't seen a drop of it since we arrived. Although they are saying it may be slightly warmer tomorrow setting it up for intense thunderstorms. Good thing we will be elsewhere tomorrow (Paris here we come!). After we left the Tower, we decided to head for St. Paul's Cathedral (where Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married). It was a beautiful church!!! Again, no pictures allowed. Bummer cause I wanted to take some real bad. We are in for the night. Waiting for laundry to finish and headed to bed early tonight as we have to leave for the train station around 6:15 in the morning. So I leave you with pictures of a blue skied London.
