Napping In London

Well, it’s a glorious day here in London. A little chilly but after all the heat on the drive to and then the terminal and plane were stifling, it is a refreshing change. I’ve taken the “Tube” from Heathrow airport to Picadilly Circus, and honestly not even knowing what it was, but it sounded interesting. It is still early so not much open and maybe won’t be open as it is Good Friday, but that’s fine. I may just sleep for a while here on this park bench! Jet lag has gotten the better of me it seems. I got off the train without really knowing where to go, strolled right into a gorgeous park, filled with tons of birds, mostly ducks, geese, and pigeons, and some very odd looking ones called Ruddy Shelducks. Just happened to be a legend of all the birds to be found in the park right across from the bench, ha ha.

There’s an ancient clock tower telling 9 o’clock which sounds very cool. Ooops, now there is a chorus of them ringing in from all over. Very nice! J The g.d. crows are still here though, can’t escape them!

I have a duck standing about 1 inch from my feet, obviously looking for something. They are pretty tame here.

Well, I think I’ll have a little nap until the tourist bureau I passed opens at 9:30am, if it opens at all.
