UK Road Trip, Summer 2017
Began the day late. Slept in because it was our first morning without a proper English breakfast. Caught the Underground to Paddington and the train to Windsor. Connection perfection! Spent the day at Windsor. Spectacular castle - everything a castle should be. Arrived back in London and started to wander around. I think we saw every tourist location and then some - Piccadilly, Trafalgar, Leicester, Parliament, Big Ben, the Eye, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace. I get tired just thinking about it. So much to see, so little time!
Dinner at a neighborhood Turkish restaurant.
Don't know where to start tomorrow.

Lois Goodstein How about St. Paul’s Cathedral? It's amazing to look at, but it also SOUNDS pretty awesome, too. Up in the Whispering Gallery (the indoor balcony at the base of the dome), the acoustics of the cathedral’s architecture create a bizarre phenomenon: stand on the exact opposite side of the dome as each other, whisper something (like “I think I’m ready to go home”), and you can hear each other loud and clear, despite being over 100 feet away!
