London

My old buddies Denai and Tony brought their daughter, Catalina to visit in Amsterdam.  We took the high-speed train to London, through the chunnel. 

Tower of London and surrounding buildings- the home of the Crown Jewels.  They are fabulous and ridiculous!

City scape along the Thames River- old buildings amongst new

Tower Bridge (NOT the London Bridge)

Buckingham Palace

As you can see, it is somewhat of an attraction to watch the changing of the gaurds in the front at the gate.  We didn't stay to watch, since we couldn't see from here (across the street, sitting up on a stone wall).

Big Ben is a rather large clock!

The London Eye is a ferris wheel/observational wheel with enclosed pods.  It takes 30 minutes to make one revolution.

The Rubios with the the Houses of Parliament in the background.

Westminster Abbey
