While landing at Heathrow Airport(bottom pic), on a very nice day at that, we flew over Windsor Castle at low altitude. First landmark siting accomplished. From the airport I took the Picadilly (light-rail/subway) to Earl's Court (where I took the middle pic of my first steps on the streets of London) and found my way over to the Holland Park Youth Hostel(top pic) where I spent the night. I am trying to learn the new currency, pounds & pence, and my head is on a swivel when I walk cause these folks drive on the wrong side of the road here. Or do we? Anyway, I begin cycling in about an hour, 7:30 or 8:00, Possibly to Canterbury. It should be an adventure navigating my way through and out of London.
Careful looking the wrong way it can mess you up!!! Glad to hear you are doing well. Ha Wimbledon is one don't forget the famous strawberries.

Hey! Good to hear from you! That would be strange seeing the cars on the "wrong side". I emailed you Tues and Wed - Did you receive them? It said message sent. I am going to try again to set up a gmail account. Today Mil V. and I picked up Nicky from Hawaii. He thinks PA is beautiful! Peace out - Carol
