London, United Kingdom (1998 & 2006/7)

These pictures are scanned from an album from the pre-digital days.  My dad flew himself, Grace, Carmel and me 1st class from California to Texas then Business Class to London all on his frequent flyer miles.  He brought us to attend the International AIDS Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, where he was presenting.  This was the first major trip that Carmel and I took together, and this was during the summer after our Freshmen years at university (we had been together just over a year).  We did the whole Eurorail thing bopping around Europe as fast as we Americanly could. 

 

Appended are some more recent pics after we moved to Oxford.

 

That was in 1998.

 

This was dessert (pudding) in 2006.

 

Spent the day in London at a meeting in the Royal Society (e.g., Transactions of the Royal Society). Here is a view from inside.

This was the photo they take of you that they try to sell.  I zoomed in with my camera and took a picture of the picture.
