We started our walk at Trafalgar Square and made our way down to Buckingham Palace (Buck House, as the locals call it), then walked through St. James park to the Houses of Parliament (Big Ben) and Westminster Abbey.

As we walked along the river towards London bridge, we passed the relatively new Millennium Bridge, also known as "Wobbly bridge." When it was first opened, it swayed due to resonant vibrations caused by people walking on it. It had to close down while the city spent 5 million pounds to stabilize it.

In other news, I have just finished my second day of class at London Business School and things are going great. I am taking a project management class with about 40 other students. It is a very diverse class and the classroom discussions can be quite lively. This is a "block class" - an intense and compressed one week course - we meet from 9-5 every day for five days. The class will wrap up on Thursday, the same day Annette arrives. Hopefully the weather will still be great for her visit.
