Day 1 in London

 

I didn't get to my hotel until 3:00 PM in London so my plans for my first day were cut a bit short.  I rested up at the hotel for an hour and then walked from my hotel to St. Pancras station for my traditional glass of champagne.  There is just something very charming about enjoying a glass of champagne with Eurostar trains rolling past.

I also visited two of my favorite statues at the station.  

This one is by Paul Day called "The Meeting Place" 

This one by Martin Jennings is a statue of poet laureate John Betjeman who was instrumental in saving St. Pancras from the wrecking ball.

I also caught site of this hotel across the street from the station with it's red elevator.  Hopefully I'll have more to post tomorrow.  I'm going to bed early to see if I can adjust the jet lag.
