The ship was docked in Greenwich, in sight of the Cutty Sark.
Cutty Sark was the fastest clipper in the Tea Trade when it was built in the 1860s.
The drive from Greenwich to Parliament Square and the Imperial War Museum and Churchill War Rooms went through South London boroughs, past a wide swath of ethnic shops,
pubs and cafes. Some were prototypically English.
The War Rooms had realistic displays in the underground rooms where
the British high command planned, monitored and steered the war effort.
After touring the War Rooms, I walked across the street to enjoy a bit of St. James Park.
Looking down, I was standing on a large medallion proclaiming the walk I was
on as The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk.
And at night there was a fireworks display on the Thames. A tall shop watched.
I forgot to mention that Friday was the eighth anniversary of the start of this blog,
which was started as Hartford Daily Photo.
