How are you? I am in the capital of England - in London. My parents and I have always dreamed of visiting this beautiful city.
There are many beautiful old buildings. We have already visited Westminster Abbey, Big Ben (now called Elizabeth Tower), the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the Cathedral of St. Paul's Cathedral, London Bridge, the Tower of London and the wax museum Madame Tussauds. In this museum there are figures of famous people from pop stars to prime ministers, made of wax. They look like the real thing. It's so interesting.
My parents and I walk now for Trafalgar Square. At its center is Nelson's Column, which is at the base of the statue is guarded by four lions. By the way, I sent you this postcard with a picture of Trafalgar Square.
The weather today is not very foggy and rainy. But it does not spoil our walk.
We made a lot of pictures. Next week we'll be home and I'll show you them.
Do not miss the opportunity to visit England and London.
Regards,
Maria
Anyone Lev right not looking, and all somewhere proudly into the distance. And roars so menacing, as none of the animals. Not the roar and thunder of heaven.
The lion symbolizes strength, courage, and bravery. All myths and legends lion appears formidable and noble and most often wins even in the unequal fight. Leo deserves to be called the king of beasts, because he is the strongest, clever, strong.
