Wednesday means we are in London.
I figure it will only take me two years to finish the trip at this rate.
But hey, at this point it's bringing back all the lovely memories. So that's something.
On Wednesday we went first to the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. And this is the proof of it:
That's me and King Richard I, Coeur de Lion (he was a Norman, after all, so he gets the snazzy French. Not that "Lionheart" is unimpressive.) Unlike Lord Nelson he is willing to turn his back on Parliament, but Parliament was less troublesome to absolute monarchs back in his day. At least until he left his little brother in charge while he went on a crusade.
Westminster Abbey is the most beautiful building I have ever seen.
That is all.
Then we went to see Wicked, which was a blast. I liked it a lot, but we don't have any pictures. What we do have pictures of is...Champions League football! Arsenal v. Sevilla, and I was there! This was a crowning felicity of my sporting life, and worth every penny. Here are the lads in action:
The ones in black are Sevilla, the red and white are Arsenal. Arsenal carried the day 3-0, and a good time was had by all.

The Taj is #1 for me.
That's not a very complete answer, but a lot of it was the ol' je ne sais qua.
