London Outing Part 1

Walked past St. Paul's Cathedral...

 

On the way to the Tate Modern. There I saw lots of great art, including some by Kandinsky. See this animation of one of his pieces!

Then, a fire on the Millenium bridge...

 

...diverted us to the nearest Tube station which was then closed due to a "suspect package" being found! So we walked on...

 

Passing a cool market I'd like to go back and visit on the weekend!

 

And we finally arrived at The British Museum.

Luton

Spent time on Gorgeous Saturday at the OTHER neighboring city of Luton.

Relaxing in the square...

 

Taking fun photos...

 

 

 

And, after being indecisive about eating, finally sat down at this Italian place. I thought it was cute that they gave us MORE than the designated 175ml of wine in our glasses!

 

(See the line marking the correct amount? And Doris' glass had more too, she had already taken a sip by the time I got my camera to work correctly!)

Spring Flowers in England!

Despite the volcanic eruption in Iceland, we've been having clear skies and gorgeous weather! Some lovely flowers are dotting the landscape around town.

 

 

 

 

St. Albans

Although I'm staying in Harpenden, my first post will be of a neighboring city!

Had some free time today and ran (or took the train, rather) to St. Albans. Apparently, what makes a city a city is that it has a cathedral! It's not related to the population. Thus, Harpenden: no cathedral; not a city. St. Albans? Cathedral. City!

I love these "interrupted" photos sometimes!


Modern street, but you can imagine some of these buildings looking just like this in the days before cars...


Neat church, although NOT the cathedral mentioned above...


...and of course, a pasty (PAST-ee) for lunch!

Easter with The Fam

The kids...







...and Papa!
