London

My trip to London was 4 museums, 2 shows and 1 good friend from La Crosse, in less than three days.  No wonder I got my first and only blister.  

This is Tower bridge, not London Bridge.  London is a blah modern bridge built in the 60's or 70's.  When they realized that London Bridge needed to be replaced they decided to sell it.  Who bought a falling down bridge?  An a American who had it shipped to Arizona and reassembled.  When it was all done the purchaser is quoted saying, "Well, this is a nice bridge, but where are the towers?"  So now there is London bridge of Arizona and it's the second most popular tourist site in the state.  (Europe 1, America 0) 

The famous Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon in Greece.  Britain stole them and now won't give them back.  It was nice that they had them because I wouldn't have been able to see them otherwise.  But there is a whole museum in Athens dedicated to the Parthenon that would take really good care of them too.  

I also saw the Rosetta Stone.  While I was in London looking at the real Rosetta stone, my friend Camille was in Egypt looking at a copy of the Rosetta Stone.  Although, I suppose if Britain returned everything to its rightful owner the museum would be empty.

Harry Potter clock, and a Griffon to let you know when you've entered the Old City.  

Millennium Bridge.  As soon as it opened (purely for foot traffic) it started to wobble back and forth.  After 4 days of constant traffic and wobbling it was closed for 12 million English pounds worth of remodeling.  Londoners still refer to it as the 'Wobbly Bridge' (say wobbly with an English accent, like Renee Zellweger says 'wobbly bits' in Bridget Jones' Diary, it just sounds better)

While it has only been open again for a few years, I was not able to cross it due to routine maintenance.
