Thank you and you're welcome .

We wished that we could take photos inside but it's prohibited . I read about a person that was jailed for trying to bomb the Cathedral . https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-04/woman-jailed-for-plotting-to-bomb-st-pauls-cathedral-in-london/12422536

The T shirt that our son bought me for Father's Day .

Saint Paul's Cathedral We hopped off to walk along the river embankment We didn't recall seeing so many rough sleepers before

We crossed Tower Bridge And after passing the Tower and it's guard lions we decided to pick up the Big Red Bus When the bus came a lot of " ladies" came out of the woodwork cutting line , pushing and shoving to grab the few empty seats on the hot bus .

When I was a kid in the 50's we used to have Mister Softee ride around our neighborhood in Miami . Loved it .

After lunch we decided to walk it off by going along the river . Walking under London Bridge we heard a familiar tune . The Silver Wind was next to the Belfast At about this point we fancied an ice cream And Mr. Whippy hit the spot

There are some amazing stain glass in many of the churches of Europe . We also saw some nice stained glass in the Moscow Metro at Novoslobodskaya . The 32 panels were created by Latvian artists In the distance is the entrance and exit , and to the side , access from other trains .

We began our last full day in London by taking the Big Red Bus to the Borough Market We went outside to photograph the Shard We found Southwark Cathedral nearby As we entered this elderly gentleman began telling us about the church building It has a lovely ornate altar And some great stained glass windows This one dedicated to William Shakesphere He told us the story of Sam Wanamaker an American who raised the money to rebuild the Globe Theatre after it had burned down . The choir began practice while we were there As it was near lunch time we saw that they had a cafe in the rear of the church . We ate outside near this vintage Rolls - Royce

The Queen's House in Greenwich Royal Observatory The line divides East from West Gnarly tree
