Pictures from London (a little bit late)






Me and Ann, after dinner on Friday












The Houses of Parliament with Big Ben (and me)












Westminster Abbey













The Horse Guards in front of the Prime Minister's residence (Downing Street, I think...)














Buckingham Palace













Trafalgar Square













Back when Texas was its own country (1824-1836, if my memory serves me right), Texas had its own embassy in London. Today, it is a restaurant that serves a poor imitation of Tex-Mex...
















A part of Tower Bridge - tourists generally think this is London Bridge, as it's much more impressive than the actual London Bridge, but it is, in fact, Tower Bridge, leading directly to the Tower of London














The Tower of London, view 1












The Tower of London, view 2











At the Eurovision party - French maid #1 (wearing Cardinal Richelieu's hat), Bonaparte, Greek goddess, French maid #2, and Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkey (couldn't tell you their actual names...)











At the Eurovision party - me, Hector, and Cardinal Richelieu














Hyde Park - the gathering of people over in the corner is Speaker's Corner












Marble Arch (based off Constantine's Arch in Rome and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, used to be the entrance to Buckingham Palace, was moved to be an entrance to Hyde Park, roads changed, and now it's on an island close to Hyde Park)












Piccadilly Circus











The Globe Theatre










The Prime Meridian (and you can see some of the Royal Observatory)











Your typical British telephone booth - they just made me smile










One example of the cool apartments on the Thames River - these were built to resemble a ship in sail












London Bridge (it says London Bridge on it, but I'm not sure if you can see it in this picture...)










My attempt at getting a picture of the Chunnel









Me in Nancy - again!
