Twenty-two hours after leaving our house, we arrived at the Crowne Plaza just in time for a pint, a quick shower and dinner with friends. Today, while Davey-baby was in meetings, Lorraine and I walked 15 minutes to the National Gallery. Along the way we saw Big Ben as he rang out at 11:30, walked by the Westminister Abbey and 10 Downing Street, and, finally through Trafalgar Square. The National Gallery was a true pleasure - seeing the actual work by Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Vermeer, and Da Vinci was wonderful. I got so excited at one point that the guard came over and told me to stand back. Silly is pretty much how I felt at that point.
