Took the Heathrow Express train to Paddington Station and then a cab to the hotel. Hilton Green Park. Small comfortable modern room. Walked through Green Park to Buckingham Palace. Queen's Gallery. Westminster. London Eye. Lunch on the Thames at Eat, a local chain of gourmet sandwich shops. Thames walk to the Millennium Bridge at the Tate Gallery. Crossed to St. Pauls Cathedral. Walked through The City and then back along the river. Well needed shower and nap. Dinner at a nearby pub in Shepard's Market, a cozy square in Mayfair. Fish and chips at the King's Arms. Shrort walk through Mayfair. Chrashed for a nice cool night.

You had better be drinking some good, local, pulled British Ale while you are there. No fizzy beer!

Ah, I miss England. All the projects I supported there moved to other countries so I think I'll only be back as a tourist.
