We are now home from London!

This is the Millennium Bridge. It is a pedestrian bridge across the Thames River. For us it was the quickest way to get to the next subway stop. It was the scariest walk that I have ever made. We walked down the middle and I held tight to Dick's arm. He would stop to take pictures and all I could do was look straight ahead. We made people go around us. It was the only way I could make it across. Probably not one of my saner decisions.

Well, we made it home on Saturday. Our flight out of Houston to Seattle was 1.5 hours late, so we didn't arrive until 9:30 PM and made it home at 11 PM. Our body clocks are slowly getting back to normal time.

We had a very good trip and saw lots of tourist traps. We had never thought about visiting London, but when the conference came up, it seemed like a good opportunity to visit. With everything so familiar - food and language, it wasn't hard to adjust to their country. That made it that much more fun. We never had fish and chips, but we really didn't miss that. We had so much else to try. The money rate of exchange was really bad for us - 1 pound was $1.90. We just kept saying everything was double for us. That didn't stop us from buying souvenirs and taking tours. It's only money!! If you ever get a chance to visit the U.K. you should. The history that our country and theirs share is incredible.

This is my last blog about our trip, but I hope to add to this blog site in the future. Check back sometime and you might see something new posted.
