Back in London - Buckingham Palace, House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and National Gallery



Today, we set out to see some of London's most famous sites.  We started the day by walking to Buckingham Palace (see photo), a remarkable place, and managed to see the guards there as well.  After this, we saw the House of Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey.  I had seen Big Ben and House of Parliament from a distance before, but it was definitely impressive seeing them up close.  We did not get a chance to go into Westminster Abbey this morning (I do want to go sometime during this year in London).  We also walked to Trafalgar Square and visited the National Gallery, which was yet another impressive art gallery in a trip full of them.
