London on a shoestring.... or should I say platinum card
Back in 2000 I was going to leave Australia and go to London to find work with only $500 in my pocket. Lucky I didn't because in the last 3 days I have blown through over $500 and I only have £21 pounds left in my pocket (the train back to the airport cost £19.60).
We did the usual tourist things, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, walked over London Bridge and the Tower Bridge. If you had to pick one then go over the Tower Bridge, I expected London Bridge to be spectacular since there is the children's song about it but it is really quite plain. The picture is of St Paul's Cathedral, can you tell what's wrong with it?
Beer is cheap (less than £2), you can buy Stella in the supermarket and Guinness is served cold to put any rumors to rest. We'll be back to explore England in more detail in July. For now it's off to Spain!

You do know that the original London bridge is actually in Arizona, right?
some google-supplied links
Anyway, what's up with the cathedral? What are those big black squares? Why don't things quite line up?
And are you checking your mac.com mail?

When I saw Beth last week, she pointed out that the building she works in is in that picture; in fact, she often has lunch on that bench on the right.

(Oh, and she confirmed my guess about the cathedral.)
