Laila and Julie, walking in St. James' Park	St. James' Park (notice the gray day!)	The guards, who did not change, returned to the stables to change the stable guards. There was no telling where the guy on the horse was headed, and it was funny to watch all the tourists (including myself) scramble to get out of the way.
		Protesting in front of Westminster Abbey
Laila, me, Big Ben and Parliament	This is the 'poppy appeal' outside of Westminster Abbey. The poppies are sold to raise funds for a Veteran's charity. Anyone who is anyone, and others as well, is seen wearing a red poppy on his or her lapel during this period.	View of Westminster Abbey, from the cloisters
Parliament with a field of fall leaves	Walkikng along the Thames	A view of St. Paul's Cathecral from the Starbucks (I know, it is very American. But it was warm and had comfortable chairs!) where we stopped for lunch.
We had been searching for a 'Lupo' and finally found one! A Lupo is a VW, smaller than a 'Polo,' smaller than a 'Golf.'	The Tower Bridge, Julie and Laila. The London Bridge is actually behind me, as I am taking the picture, and is nothing to see. Apparently the original London Bridge is actually at Lake Havasu, but the jury is still out on that one...	Laila, Julie, me, Tower Bridge
	View of theTower of London	It was Lord Mayor's Day, which meant that there were fireworks (the Londoners seem to love their fireworks!) over the Thames.
Preparing to board the train for the trip back north to Scotland. I took the GNER (Great Northeastern Railroad) apparently also considered 'The Route of the Flying Scotsman'	A view of Kings Cross Station, where, incidentally, Harry Potter goes to board the train to Hogwarts. I did not see him there.
