Around the World in 26 Letters--London


Honestly, I've never really wanted to go to London. It seems so much the same climate as Washington, just with slightly different food and a bunch of English accents I can't understand too well, so the draw has never been there for me. My dad's side of the family has a Markham Crest from England, apparently there's some lineage reaching to a duke or something, so I guess I should want to check out a piece of my ancestry as well if I ever go. And until recently, most English actors have been mediocre to watch for two hours at best. Now that Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Daniel Craig, and James McAvoy have made it on my radar, maybe a trip across the pond would be worth the effort :)

I suppose I could ride a double-decker

over to the London Bridge,

check out the London Eye,

see Westminster Palace and Big Ben,

maybe Buckingham Palace,

and the Tower of London,

if I had to :)

Would you go? Have you been?
