More London

 Here are a few things that I saw that stuck in my mind. No where in the United States would I ever see a Socialist Bookshop sign to prominently displayed.

I really liked seeing this little boy's enjoyment of the Dufy painting. His father was listening to him talk about the painting.

 A street with neat doorways.

 A vew across the Thames towards St. Paul's.
 The National Theatre building.
 Approaching the Eye and a large crowd of people.
 Those baskets hold a lot of people. They're huge.
Taken as we crossed the Thames. Notice the people walking along. Thick with people. This was the second sunny day that we had in London.

Some photos in London

The old Vic theatre was right near our hotel. What a thrill to see it. Too bad we couldn't have seen a play there.
 This is one of the few remaining telephone boxes in London. Sadly, there isn't much need for public phones these days.














Ah, the mail artist's heart goes pitter patter at the sight of a mail box.

This is the bridge that crosses the Thames from behind the Tate Modern and leads to St. Paul's church. You can see what a typical London day it was.









We had a really lovely, sunny day our last day in London. Here's a view of the EYE from our room.

It's August already!!!

 The summer is half way over, and glad about it. It's been so hot here and we look forward to cooler days.  I'm writing writing this...
