London - Again

Our last hotel in London (on the backside of the trip).

Dad in lobby of our last hotel--posing with...ah...figure. Yeah.

Mom with same.

The Tower Bridge.

Hughes and my second trip to the British Museum -- Assyrian releif's from ancient Nineveh. The detail is wonderful!

A nifty Syrian lion guardian. He had been written all over in cuneiform, too. I guess it was a fairly sure way of preserving text--not likely to get accidentally tossed out with the trash.

A griffin-type-creature from the same period, also much-written-on.

Very interesting relief of Jeroboam II, King of Israel, paying homage and tribute to Shalmaneser III, King of Assyria.

These little cars are DARLING!! They're only about 6 feet long.

Churchill's Cabinet War room, visited by Mom and Dad.

More from the War Room.

 

THE map! Left exactly has Churchill and his staff left it when they walked out of the bunker.

Mom at Hampton Court.

Abbie at one of many impressive courtyards in Hampton Court.
