Christmas Eve tour of London
Twas the day before Christmas... Dad arrived at noon today. His flights were uneventful.
We purchased all day tube passes (£4.30) and showed dad the sights. Stops at London Bridge, Big Ben, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, (Queensbury stop for) and at Kensington Place were made. We then had dinner at Covent Garden area. At a cathedral next to Big Ben we met an Episcopalian lay minister and talked to him for a while. He talked about the anomalies of European speech and gave some history lessons. Sad to say but he knew more American history then we combined.
The Royal postal service and the Piccadilly line (tube) workers are on-strike. Tonight we watched Chevy Chases Christmas.
