Visit to London

I spent a few days with my friend Amanda in London.  Arrived Sunday and walked with Amanda and Poppy to Chiswick House and Gardens.

On Monday, Poppy went off to the doggy hotel for the night.  Amanda and I visited London Aquarium and the Monet exhibition at National Gallery.

A visit to Kew Gardens on Tuesday and a walk with Poppy to Barnes pond in the evening.

So secluded we had to ask where it was.
