WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

The London Eye: three views plus one

From the street

From the Thames

A model in the University of London School of Architecture.
 
There are also "eyes" in other cities in Europe. This one was built near Westminster and they promised to take it down. However, the public has found it popular. I find it a blight on the river.
 
 
Note how it slipped in to this picture of what is called, incorrectly, "Big Ben".
Edit: The tower is "Elizabeth Tower" of the Palace at Westminster. The bell inside is Big Ben"
