07/25 Final Log - London/Florida
Yes, Les and I returned to London for one last day before we flew to Florida. We had planned to take Cindy's suggestion and visit Windsor Castle. However, we were ready for a day of rest, and we were slow to make connections, and now we're glad we just stayed close to Heathrow airport. We were in London for the 7/7 bombings, and we would have been in downtown London had we decided to sightsee some more on 7/21. As you know, more bombings mirroring what happened two weeks ago were attempted. The city traffic was in an absolute gridlock and it would have been a very long day if we had ventured beyond our hotel location.
All's well that ends well! After a 22-hour day from London to Detroit to Jacksonville, we are glad to be back in the states. Thank you for joining us on the Grand Tour of Greece, Turkey, Israel, England and Ireland. This blog ends our journey but not the many memories that we hope to share in the future. Les and I are grateful for your participation and we look forward to sharing many more stories of our journey in the future. Wherever you are, may God be with you until we meet again.
