Catching Up

This post is literally a catch-up--in late September, two friends/colleagues from the US got to come to London on official business. This was major stop number 1 on their world tour. You may recognise the faces...but the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

We took full advantage of the lovely weather and the visit to see the London sites, laugh and otherwise catch up. JMo and Ricky Bobby were troopers--straight from an overnight flight, I picked them up for a full day of sightseeing.

From looking at the photos, you'd think that all we did is tour the Tower of London...which isn't the case...but if you ONLY had time to do one thing, I'd always recommend seeing the crown jewels. They're just amazing.
Activities of the day included the obligatory trip on the Tube, a ride on the London Eye, a river cruise and a black cab ride. Of course, we also drank a pint in a pub...Mandatory for embracing the culture.

Here's a picture of me and JMo after touring the Tower of London.


Here's a pic of JMo and a Beefeater before we went in to see the Crown Jewels.


And here's a picture of me and Ricky Bobby before going into the Tower.


And here's a shot of Ricky Bobby displaying a coded message! :)


It was a great day out! Can't wait for you to come back and spend some more time.
