Big Ben and Westminster Abbey-July 13

This, of course, is Big Ben which is the most visible feature of the Parliament building. The London Eye is the ferris wheel contraption behind Big Ben. This view is looking southeast toward the Thames and King's college. Our dorm is close to the London Eye. I haven't made it into the Eye because it is too expensive.
Here we are waiting to get into the Parliament building. That's Mary in the blue jacket. She's our library science student from Albuquerque. We were given a guided tour of the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
This is one cool looking lion outside where we are waiting to get in.
This is the north entrace to Westminster Abbey. This is where I entered. There are many kings, queens and poets buried here. I could have spent all day in the Abbey. There is so much to see in this magnificent ancient building.
This is the west side of Westminster Abbey. This is where I exited.
