Good Bye!
Hi guys....Got back last night. Sorry, didn't see any Mopars other than a couple of Grand Cherokees, a Grand Caravan, a 300, and a couple of Dodge Ram trucks. Saw a single Chevy. Saw an empty Cadillac-Hummer-Corvette showroom --- TWO TIMES EMPTY. Saw lots more exotics per capita there than here in the SF Bay Area ... saw an Aston Martin maybe every fifteen minutes, lots of Jags, saw maybe four or five Ferraris each day. Saw two 1000 HP Bugatti Veyrons in one day! Attached is a picture of one, along with some others. But in London, taxis rule the streets!
A local said it was the best summer weather he could remember in the last three years. We bailed out before a heat wave hit, good thing since many places lack A/C in London. People are more courteous and friendly than I would have guessed.
Ate bangers and mash, shepherd pie, and fish and chips. Saw the U.S. Mens National Soccer team upset Spain in a tournament televised in a big sports bar, most of the Brits were chanting "U-S-A!, U-S-A!,...."
My only gripe is that the dollar is still weak relative to the British Pound, so it feels like our dollar is worth about 75 cents, everything is more expensive there than here. Aside from that, we had a great time, would go back again!
Here's pictures of Big Ben, House of Parliament, the town of Bath, Windsor Castle, the British Museaum of Natural History, some other random sights.
