London

The intrepid (and exhausted) band of wanderers consulting a map in front of a cool British door. The question - Where is the Tower of London? Liam was really interested in seeing it. Good thing we listened to him, it was really cool.



The Tower of London itself.



Cool coat of arms. I have always admired the British people's affection for the unicorn....



Old architecture against the new in the surrounding area of the Tower.



The obligatory shot of "the kids with the guard."



A segment of the interior of the Tower of London property.



There is a belief that if the ravens ever vacate the Tower, the monarchy would fall. Strange belief. These birds were absolutely huge. Clipped wings ensure the perpetuation of the British throne.



Liam at the Tower Bridge.



Aidan was able to reach to the top of the Tower Bridge, which was a pretty cool trick.



Tower Bridge.



This place was neat - it looked alot like a south Indian Hindu temple, thus it caught our eye. It was nothing of the sort, but it had an uncanny resemblance to some Andhra Pradesh temple styles.



Overall, London was a fantasticly excellent addition to this adventure....
