The Tower of London
7 April 2002

   
It was a blustery spring day, cool but clear, so we decided to take advantage of a 2 for 1 deal and visit the famous Tower of London.  This was, naturally, more for my benefit than my wife's.

Walking over Tower Bridge, not to be confused with The Tower, itself.
   
 
£11.50 later, we're inside The Tower--that's nearly $18 a head!  Now you know why we waited for the "2 for 1" deal.

  

  

  
The White Tower.  
   
 
Guys in period costumes.  Since The Tower was built about a thousand years ago, they had a lot of periods to choose from. 

  

  

  
More period-specific dramatics.  They actually shot the guns at one point.  The noise and smoke was horrific.
