The Nenana river is located immediately adjacent to Denali National Park and Preserve and passes by the McKinley Village where the Host had an overnight stay. The river is glacier fed. There was a sign saying that a Grizzly bear had recently been seen immediately by this property. This river and the surrounding territory is both beautiful and dangerous.

London is one great city, but it's not the United Kingdom.

Houses of Parliment

"You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” - Samuel Johnson

"If London is a watercolor, New York is an oil painting.” Peter Shaeffer

"To think that the new economy is over is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke.” Alvin Toffler

The big "O" is a wonderful ride to enjoy. You look over the Thames River for miles around. I visited here in September 2002. It's located immediately across the river from the Houses of Parliment (on the left side of the picture) by the Westminster bridge. The ride lasts about 45 minutes to an hour as you slowly work your way up from the bottom to the top. The weather was great on this specific date. I could even see the "O" all the way from West London, where I was staying at the Westland Hotel.

This is the "Friends At Hand" pub. What a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a nice meal. I once more ordered curried chicken. It was outstanding and I ate it along with a pint of cider. You couldn't have wanted anything more.

What a great place to eat. This is "The Worlds Most Famous Conveyor Belt Sushi Bars."

You can find out more about Yo Sushi at their web site. Just click on the picture and you'll go there.

The Appolo Victoria theater is located in the West End on Shaftesbury Avenue alongside the Gielgud, Lyric and Queens theaters. "Bombay Dreams" was a wonderful play that had lots of singing and dancing in India's movie-making capitol. It was a story of poverty to riches. There ar 42 theaters in this area each with an exciting production.

Tower of London. It is located about six bridges east of Westminster Bridge. It's quite a site and there are so many wonderful tales about the Tower.

This is another delightful eating place. There must be at least 20 outlets in England, in Sydney, Dublin. You can find out more about this restaurant by clicking on the image.
