OK I feel a little better today, not going to die after all! We took the "Big Bus" tour today. Went to the National Portrait Museum which is filled with lots of very old and very beautiful art. It is located in Trafalgar Square which is impressive. Huge fountain with statues. Large statue of Horatio Nelson with 4 big lions around it. It rained while we were on the top of the double decker bus, no cover, but they handed out ponchos and we loved it. We stopped a 221 Baker St. and took pictures of Shirlock Holmes statue and looked in gift shop. Bought an umbrella since it had been riaing so much, got back on the next bus and it never rained on us again.
We went by the horse guarded gates near Buckingham Palace. Beautiful horses, took pictures of course. We had our first plate of actual English Fish and Chips. It was quite good and we were feeling like part of the whole English scene by then.
