Here are a couple of shots of the London Tower. On the left is a shot with our backs to the River Thames. On the Right is a shot of the Guard tower which they use as an entry point for the Tower. They call it a tower but really it is an impressive fortress where the Kings and Queens of England used to live. Many of King Henry the VIII's wives were executed, and buried here. The grounds are lived in by members of the military that keep it running. It is a tourist hot spot but is a fully functional community. It houses the Crown Jewels, which are viewable by the public and under heavy watch in a very secure vault within the grounds.

I liked the pictures of the Globe and the Tube. It is really fun to see this stuff as I was in London in 1965, a very happy break from Paris and French at the time. I took no camera and had no computer, just American Express as a place to communicate and get money! Love, Pam
