I figured out how to download photos from my camera onto this internet cafe computer, so this blog will consist simply of 16 photos, each of which is worth 1,000 words:

Our efficiency flat (behind me is the bed and a TV; the bathroom is to the left where the open door is: that's the entirety of the flat)

The Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens

Royal Albert Hall (left foreground) and surrounding buildings

A street performer on the South Bank, doing such a brilliant impression of a statue that even the pigeons are fooled

Tower Bridge

Statues of men perched about the rooftops on the South Bank

A dancer in the outdoor performance we attended on Saturday ("Off the Wall")

The River Thames at night

James in front of the classiest Starbucks ever

The smallest car on the planet (called the "Smart Car")

Looking out the window of the Tate Modern Art Museum

On the steps of St. Paul's Cathedral (no one we know, just some stranger I used for scale)

At "The Mousetrap," by Agatha Christie--the longest running play in London, now an institution (I saw it 26 years ago in the same theater, with a different set and actors, of course--they're not all walking around the stage decrepit)

A flower on the vines in the "Tropical Garden" of the Portobello Gold restaurant where we ate a late lunch today on Portobello Rd

James having an intellectual moment
