***** DAY 5 *****

Another day in London meant my parents learned even more facinating history about the great city. On Day 5, they visited....

Tower Bridge

Tower of London

Westminster Abby

London Dungeon

Here are some photos of Tower Bridge which crosses over the famous River Thames to the Tower of London. It is often mistaken to be "London Bridge." (My mom sings the song to me about "London Bridge is falling down....") My parents were told that the actual London Bridge was bought by a man in Arizona. Rumor has it that he purchased it by mistake and thought he was getting this Tower Bridge instead. The other bridge was bought, shipped to America, and reassembled in Oct 1971 at Lake Havasu City as the centrepiece of a theme park in English style. It's second-biggest tourist attraction in Arizona, after the Grand Canyon. Just goes to show, you better know what you are buying before you pay.
