Good morning to you all.

 Just a little catch-up here.

 We went to London yesterday the 18^th of August. Did you know there are no elephants at the Elephant Castle? No, there isn’t even a castle there, no clowns in Piccadilly Circus, didn’t see the Queen at Buckingham Palace, London Bridge has fallen down and been replaced with a nice new one. The London Tower isn’t really tall but is old, some parts date back to the Roman Empire. The Tower Bridge is quite tall and has been in its place for almost 2 centuries. There are many, many people in London, mostly foreigners like us.

It was an awesome experience to be able to stand, in the present, and observe all the history that the place holds. Things we had only read about, or were told about, came to life and became real places and real things.

I still haven’t been able to grasp that the wrong side of the road is the right side to drive on, so we left the car at the train station at Gerrard’s Cross and for one price rode trains and buses all day.  We also did a lot of walking and are paying the price for that today. I’ll post some pictures of our experience. We have a lot of video footage but have not yet figured out how to edit it. If you know of a good reasonably priced (free) editing program I can download let me know.  

God bless.
