Yet another photo inadvertenly destined to cause much high-toned anticipation, and glassy-eyed stares while next April's fun is imagined (I'm talking to you whose initials are double-H): Big Ben! In London! England! Woo!
During our stay in London, we ended up hitting the Parliament rather late in the day. As we stood gawking, we were lamenting out loud that we must be too late to go inside, and watch that day's session. Overheard by a passerby, we turned towards the `Excuse me, I couldn't help but hear...', uttered by the eavesdropping middle-aged lady, who turned out was secretary for one of the Ministers. She said that Parliament was sitting as we spoke, and that it usually doesn't actually convene until later into the day or evening. The rest of the tourists seemed to be unaware, as we were the only folks in line, and cruised into Parliament very quickly. We watched some MP bitch about the United States for a while. Satisfied, with our Parliamentary experience, we headed back to the bar at our hostel for Happy Hour.
