Heathrow Airport

Our last photo in England. This the surprisingly functional and unattractive terminal 5 at Heathrow.

This was a lovely trip. The weather was primarily sunny and warmer than expected. Prices were high but, hey, it was London. New York would be an expensive vacation too.

Waiting for the Terminal 4 Train

We have to get off the Express at terminal 5 and wait for the train to our terminal. Utilitarian but very efficient.

Heading Back Home

Back at Paddington station again, about to get on the Heathrow Express that whisks us back from central London to the airport.

From the Observatory

From the observatory you look back across Greenwich Park to the Queen's House, the University of Greenwich just beyond that, and across the River Thames to east London.

Lunch

We sat out back because it was such a lovely day. This is a nice french (sorry, Gloria) restaurant in Greenwich. We listened as a very pretty young woman complained about how old she was as she lamented her 27th birthday. That's 1983 when I was already 34. I was older the day she was born than the day she worried her friends about her age.

Sigh.

Ditto

My turn to stand astride the world of east and west.

East and WEst

Marian has one foot on each side of the Prime Meridian. One foot in the east, one foot in the west.
