Wedding on Sat , aftermath on Sunday.
Monday Night Lights , was a bus tour of the downtown of London.
Name dropping here : City of London : the square mile of business in London
Threadneedle Street : traditionally , the fashion area
Bond St :
Fleet St: home of the print industry but now everything
the Strand : where you went to see and be seen
The Eye : the big wheel in town $ 38 for a 1/2 h swing through the London sky
Big Ben: not the American bear , the clock that keeps Londoners on time
Yepper , saw them all.
As well , Covent Garden : market area of london
the Thames : river highway to London and all points north
the Circuses Oxford , Picadilly and Trafalgar Square.
The great stores , Selfridges , Harrods , Fortnum and Mason
The names jumped out of history. Times Square but loaded w/ history - back to 52 AD when Julius Caesar crossed the Thames
Weather : rainy all night ( even during the tour ) gusty wind.
The day was patchy sunlight and brisk winds. Definitely , late fall weather at home , not quite winter but Jack Frost is coming. Probably , 40 C.
