These photos were taken on Monday, September 26, 2011. When I came in to London from Gatwick, my driver took the scenic route through town. Combined with the bus tour I went on Sunday, I was ready for some up close and personal time with the city. A friend had stayed an extra day so we decided to meet up Monday morning. She wanted to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and I wanted to ride the London Eye. It was a great day. The crowd was pretty big for the changing of the guard, but we were able to see it pretty well. The weather was amazing, so it was a perfect day to wander the streets.
Since I was spending a few days in Valparaiso, Tanya and I took our dogs (Hershey and Buddy) for a couple walks around the Cumberland Loop. The Cumberland Loop is close to downtown Valpo and seems to be a wildlife refuge. To be honest, I am not sure if it is designated as such, but there were plenty of geese and ducks that seem to think it is. Either way, there are a couple different routes you can take and it is quite relaxing and scenic.
Another month has passed us by. This year is going by pretty quickly. February included a couple of journeys up to Yosemite National Park. Tanya and I spent our first Valentine’s Day together, so that was cool. I have to admit, my shadow theme for this month was not a great idea. I probably should have saved that one for August.
