The Agle Jrs. in London – Day 5

This morning, we were Americans in London. We picked up a double decker tour bus, climbed to the top deck and sat at the front, beneath the covered portion (it was a bit chilly today).
We saw the exteriors of all the sights – Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, 10 Downing Street (see picture), St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park, etc. It was a treat, although some of us were still fighting jet lags and missed portions of the tour.
In the evening, we took in a relatively new musical, “Mary Poppins.” We purchased “on the day of” tickets at one of the “just off of” Leicester Square ticket booths. Not quite half price (35 pounds versus 42.50), and not quite completely unobstructed views, but hey – we were still inside the theater and saw the show. It was a delightful mixture of the familiar and new, with plenty of fun special effects.
