Trafalgar Square & Around London

---

This morning we went to The National Gallery which houses one of the finest collections of Western European paintings in the world. Just viewing the Highlights of the collection can take most of the day and certainly more than we could absorb.

Then, that afternoon, a Thames River boat ride from Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge and back. We also took some photos of various sights in and around London, enjoy.
