Tower of London

Sunny, but brisk Sunday.

In retrospect gloves would have served me better in my luggage than short sleeved shirts.

After exploring hipster Shoreditch and eating lunch at trendy Dishoom

we opted for some traditional tourist fare; 

The Tower of London.

Crown jewels, knights' armor, Beefeaters, and chambers of torture.

British history, one of my great passions.

We walked home along the Thames

past The Tate, The National, street artists, and other strollers.

Feet throbbing, hearts full.
