London - Day 1

I'm one of these people who still find it quite amazing that one can board an airplane in the evening,

sleep a bit while in flight and land in another country clear across the Atlantic the next morning. 

Thursday night I boarded an airplane. 

Friday morning I landed in London.

 After a much needed nap, my husband and I began to walk

and I began to look up

 and out...at London Bridge...

while we searched for a place to eat.

The architecture,

the art,

the design found here is wonderful.

A bit of a rest was called for so we took a seat by the Thames

and enjoyed soaking up the ambiance of the area.

Strolling again, I found a river running through the street

as well as a bit of London yellow.

The area has been inundated with rain so when the sky shone a brilliant blue, 

I nearly expected to hear cheers all around.
