A few shots from our first stroll through London....



First Big Ben & Parliament sighting!  Poor lighting, but silhouette is kinda cool!

The 4 Wright crew with Wendy & her boys, Charlie, Parker & Spencer.
Notice the London Eye on the far left; we're headed there tomorrow!


Charlie, orienting the Wrights with posted city maps...good thing Andrew's paying attention!


We're excited to spend some time in front of Buckingham Palace later this week!!


There are WWI & WWII memorials everywhere; how else can a nation be reminded of what they've lost and what they gained once that generation is no longer able to tell their stories firsthand and as eye witnesses to the horrific destruction...P-Pa, we're thinking of you as we stop at each of these!




This is the Prime Minister's address, & somewhere past this rod iron "small gate"(which apparently is the one through which he passes daily) is his residence.  It's one of the only places in London where the guards are actually armed.  Somehow I never realized that the police force here is unarmed.  Surprising.
