ITAMAR
LEVY and MAAYAN SEGOLI VISIT LONDON
February 23 - March 1, 2016
Our two grandsons, Itamar and
Maayan will have their barmitzvah this
year, and Doreen and I decided on our
present to them - a week's vacation in London. We all had an
interesting and enjoyable time.
Of course the boys enjoyed the London sights - the parks, street lamps,
brick houses, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, the Houses
of Parliament, Leicester Square and many others. The Underground and
navigating the stations was a new experience also much enjoyed.
We visited many attractions and museums, some for a short time, some
for very much longer: National Portrait Gallery, Cambridge Theatre (to
see the musical "Matilda"), Harrods, Buckingham Palace (Changing of the
Guards), London Dungeon, Science Museum, Harry Potter Studio
exhibition, Natural History Museum, Stonehenge, Magna Carta Exhibition
at Salisbury Cathedral, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and of course the
M&M shop.
We are fortunate that the two children like trying new things,
including food, and at their request we ate something different
nearly every meal. Click here to see some of
their culinary highlights.
Here are some pictures from our visit. There are more pictures on the
pages of Itamar and Maayan, and on This Week's archives here and here.
