Entering the Tower...typical English day with dark, dark, rain clouds.

Crowd of people on the Beefeater tour. I was hoping a Monday morning wouldn't be crowded, but I guess the middle of May is prime vacation time.

Bloody Tower...how apt.

The White Tower, central part where the royalty used to live ages ago.

Trying to get a view of Tower Bridge from inside. Didn't work out so well. Although, I did get a better one but the rest of the picture was completely dark.

Beefeater! So much fun!

The Jewel House. Where all those fabulous diamonds are kept.

More White Tower. With some crazy blue sky.

Line of kings. I guess wooden horses, etc were built and lined up with the armor of the kings after they died? Something like that.

Royal chapel in the tower.

King Henry VIII's armo(u)r. He was a fatty.

Memorial to all those who lost their heads.

More tower green.

Le rack!

Some other, supremely comfortable looking, torture device.

Leaving the tower. The grass used to be a moat. I bet the moat was easier to take care of than all that manicured lawn.

Adios, Tower of London, you've been great.

Oh wait, that wasn't the last picture. Here we are before descending into the tube station. Ew, it was dark and cold. Goodbye for real, this time.

First pictures of Big Ben/Parliament/London Eye since the first time in Januaray. Unsurprisingly, nothing has changed.

There was a special exhibit on the fashion of The Supremes at the V&A...I didn't go in, but these dresses were outside the exhibit and were super snazzy.

A dress made for Princess Diana. Why it's a good idea to be a princess- dresses get made for you that are just dripping in pearls.

Statue in Harrods. Look at it's creepy eyes!

Memorial to Diana and Dodi...I think it's weird.

Lipstick smudged glass (even weirder) and engagement ring.

Strolling through Hyde Park.

Darkness in the park. Oh sunshine, why do you hate London?

Picadilly Circus. I just liked the sign pointing me in all sorts of fun directions.
