7/52

Week 7 of 52
Residences 
Tower of London
Somewhere along the River Thames

As you saw from my blog posts earlier in the week, Alan and I were in London for a long weekend.  We had a great time wandering around and revisiting the wonderful city.  Our last day in London we decided to tour the Tower of London.  We had been before but it was years ago and I really wanted to see the Crown Jewels

If you haven't been and you are in London I think it is definitely worth going for a visit.  The entrance fee is a bit pricey but there is a lot to see inside and the tours by the Yeomen are fun.

This place dates back a long, long time but has been pretty well maintained.  Although I find it pretty hard to imagine what it was like to live here when there weren't paved streets or plumbing or heat or air conditioning...boy, we sure are spoiled these days.  It also must have been really odd to live in a place that was a prison and where executions were held.  At least the view was nice...

A few more pictures that I liked from when we were wandering around...
