A Weekend in London...

We arrived Friday afternoon by train, deposited our overnight bags and walked to St. Pauls Cathedral where Prince Charles and Diana had been married.  Along the way we came upon a small garden called The Postman's Park that contained wall plaques in memory of ordinary heros dating back to the 1700's.  There were also some old head stones stacked along the walls.










 The St. Pauls Cathedral is so huge as most of the great buildings I have seen that it is nearly impossible to get a full view.



Of course the access is limited and those darn trees didn't not help me at all.  We then went on to the Millenium bridge which is a walking bridge across the Thames River.  It was very windy as you can see and a bit drizzly also.  You can see the Cathedral in the background bigger than life.


On the other side of the bridge was a huge Museum called the Tate Modern.  We went in to see different modern art exhibits.  We had a bit of tea and a sweet and headed back for the evening.
