Lee's Visit

Last weekend, one of our good friends from Jordan's pilot training class stopped in Mildenhall on his way home from the desert. Even though his crew was only in town for 18 hours, the guys had their hopes set on making it down to London. After they checked into their hotel rooms, we met up for lunch at a pub within walking distance from the base. Jordan and I both played chauffeur, and we drove the group of seven to Cambridge and then caught the train into the city.

It was drizzling all day, but we still managed to have a good time. During this whirlwind trip we were able to see quite a few attractions, including: the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St. James Park, and Buckingham, along with several stops at various pubs along the way. It is always so much fun to see a familiar face, and we were so happy to have had the opportunity to hang out with Lee, his brother, and the rest of their crew.

This is something you don't see everyday... This was inside a pub called "Hung, Drawn, and Quartered", located across from the Tower of London, where the worst criminals were imprisoned, tortured, or executed. To be hanged, drawn, and quartered was said to be worse than murder itself.

Big Ben, from a different angle this time :0)

Not the best picture, but I thought it was kinda funny.
