	The British Isles


Another fabulous building in the city of Bath.		And then we come to Stonehenge. Words can't describe the feeling.		It was a stormy day and the wind was blowing..		................

.................		While traveling through Sussex, we were told by many people that the Cliffs of Dover were worn away and all green from algae. They suggested Beachy Head		Beachy Head was impressive and very isolated. We both climbed past the guardrails and went to the edges of the cliffs.		Leeds Castle is a fairy tale castle. Very beautiful. Royalty still lives in a wing of it.

Trefalger Square in London England is huge. This lion is about 10' tall and there were four of them.		One day while walking around near Buckingham Palace, some of the Horse guard came riding by.		We were on our way to see the changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace when they came marching by.		I enjoyed the changing of the Guard. It started out slow, the formalities had to be done, but it ended with a bang.

This is part of the Queen Victoria Memorial that rests in front of Buckingham Palace.		The Tower Bridge going over the Thames River. I was at the Tower Of London when I took this. Another must see is the Crown Jewels. Amazing.		These neon signs were in Picadilly Circus covering the building. The building was at least 10 stories tall.		The US Embassy had set up the Roosevelt Memorial and Park as a memorial for the victims of the NY tragedy. I had the honor of writing in a book being created as part of the memorial.

Big Ben. You can here it chime all over London.		Big Ben and the Parliament Buildings. We only saw it from the outside. The lines to get in where hundreds deep.		British Airways "The Eye" was impressive. Each gondola held about 20 people and it took a half hour to make a complete circle.		And finally one more building with wonderful statuary and detail.

It was a wonderful three week trip. Next time I'll allow a lot more time or at least limit the ground I cover. There's still so much I want to see and do.

You can rest now. Job well done. click here to go home.
