A Day of a Walking

I had a quiet morning trying help Fr. Milby set up his IPod.  This lead into a discussion about IPads and cell phones neither of which he had.  So after lunch we went off into the city to find an Apple Store.  Here are a few pictures of what I saw along the way.

The Convent Garden area where My Fair Lady was filmed.  Here you can see a magician performing for the crowd.

In the same area you can find guys posing as statues that come alive and interact with you.  Notice how he is sitting without any visible support.

Some views of the side streets off of Convent Garden

This was a street of traditional book sellers.

On this street a saw this marker.  Mozart lived here on his European tour.

The famous Big Ben clock tower.  It struck 4:00pm when we were there

These pictures are of the area around Parliment.

We also strolled by Westminister Abbey.

The bells in the tower of Westminter were ringing to mark the graduation of students from some girls school.  You can see them wear red capes.

This is the entrance that was used by Kate when she arrived for her wedding to William.  It seemed much smallest in real life.

Westminister Abbey was originally a Benedictine Monastery until it was dissolved after the English. The next few pictures show buildings that would have used by the monks for various purposes.

After an exhausting afternoon of walking around the city, Fr. Milby and I made our way back the rectory.  Since Friday is observed as a day of abstinence in the UK, I made a nice frittata off our dinner.
