    Was Hampton as beautiful inside as I imagine? Did you see Windsor? Sorry for all the questions but I am so excited about going again.

    It's incredibly beautiful inside Hampton Court. We didn't see Windsor. We saw Stone Henge, did the Jack the Ripper tour, the white cliffs of Dover, the Tower of London, Hever Castle, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, St. Peter ad vincula, Phantom of the Opera and Paris. We squeezed so much in that looking back, I don't know how we did it all.

    When do you plan on returning?
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Here are a few pix of our trip. My son wrote the commentary in case you're wondering. My friend Clare took many more, too, and I'll post them later. More of mine to come.

    A few more. We have many more pix but they're on another camera, many of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, etc. As soon as I get them, I'll post some if anyone is still interested.

    Mary, glad that you had such a nice trip! And glad you made it back home safe!

    What an interesting experience it must have been to see the soccer match of your team in the opponent's country! I saw the match, too, btw! Oh, and did you like Covent Garden? I don't know what it's like there these days, but back in 1991, I thought it had a very charming atmosphere.

    Just checked your pics. I know some of the places in London from a visit 20 years ago, like Buckingham Palace, and the Tower. But I did not see Stonehenge, I envy you for that! LOL

    I also love your photos of Paris, the one of the L'ouvre with the pyramid reminds of the Da Vinci Code-movie.
