The Other Side of the Pond-Part 3

After the Eye of London we wandered over to Trafalgar Square.  This square and its monuments were in honor of Lord Nelson who died at the Battle of Trafalgar (pronounced Trufulga in England.)  :-) Love the English accent.  We saw this add for getting Londoners to visit Las Vegas on a bus yesterday.

..so true, so true.

Good luck trying to explain that to your nephews, Al.

Back to Trafalgar Square...

Cool English Scene

This is the entry to the Mall that leads to Buckingham Palace

The Mall

The Ugly Duckling Meets the Queen

The green around Buckingham Palace that you saw in my last post is St. James Park, pronounced "Snt" James :-) . This was my favorite park I think.  Someday maybe I'll get to go back and explore it better.

Another very different kind of duck

When who should come along but the Ugly Duckling and his parents.

Buckingham Palace

The last place we stopped on Tuesday was Picadilly Circus which is kind of like the London version of Times Square.

Stay tuned for our last day in England; Parliament, Buckingham palace, and Platform 9 3/4!
