One day more

We had just one more day.

With a little more than 12 hours left, we set off that morning hoping to take in as much as possible before heading home. On the bus ride into town, Jeff quickly nodded off while I sat there contemplating. Feeling the pressure of time. I wanted to slow it down. Just for today. Slow it down just enough for me to experience this place I had no idea if I would ever see again.

I think time heard my thoughts.

I was looking forward to seeing the famous Beefeaters when I saw one walking towards me on the street. I asked if I could take a picture and he obliged…then asked me if I had an entrance ticket. When I said no, I think Mr. Beefeater became a Death Eater. Oops.

I don't think I took enough pictures of Big Ben. 😉

Interesting to find a statue of Abraham Lincoln there.

One of my favorite images from the trip was this man painting across from Westminster Abbey.

At the end of the evening, we decided to catch the theatre show of Les Miserables. Then Jeff indulged me by walking another two miles just to see Big Ben at night. I kind of like him. And Big Ben too.

With tired feet and long way back, we caught the last subway train home. This time we both sat nodding off blissfully content with our one more day…one day more!
