Good morning! Life is feeling better after a good night's sleep. I don't sleep well on an airplane. So while the rest of the passengers were in their little cacoons, I was watching movies and TV shows and playing cribbage on the iPad. It was quiet and dark for several hours as we cruised over the ocean without so much of a bump in turbulence.

The Thames is literally a block from my hotel, the City Inn Westminster. It is relatively new and modern. It has a Mac computer that is there for me to use and somehow it also can become the TV set but I figured that one out yet. It is a more complicated activity than "just turn it on" so I left it for today's technology challenge.

As I strolled down the river there were these wonderful trees with pods hanging from them.

I arrived in London about noon today, safe and sound. The flights were uneventful. I got an upgrade to business class on my leg from Minneapolis to London. The partner of the woman sitting next to me want to be seated with her so they upgraded me to business class. It made the trip much more enjoyable from a comfort point of view. I was very thankful for the airline's kindness.

As you fly into London's Heathrow Airport, the population density with large green spaces. There are five large parks and another 95 small neighborhood greenspaces.

I will begin sharing pictures tomorrow morning when I have the energy to go digging around my bags looking for the USB posrt adapter that lets me download off my digital card.
