the first thing we did upon exiting heathrow airport was get on the tube to visit Shoghi Effendi's resting place.
heathrow terminal 4 tube
gotta establish the setting...
main gate
this is New Southgate Cemetery, home to the resting place of Shoghi Effendi, Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith.
new southgate sign
New Southgate info sign. Note the typo (that's not to mention the lack of apostrophe in Baha'i - but hey - can't have everything)
baha'i cemetery gate
these pillars were once at the south entrance of the New Southgate Cemetery, before the main gate was constructed.

yay for buses
we had walked all the way from Arnos Grove station because we weren't sure how far it would be. we opted to take a bus back to save our feet some wear and tear.

up the escalator from piccadilly tube station.
piccadilly square
mom (serious) and catherine zeta share a nice pose in piccadilly square. mom just bought some excellent shoes, but her feet were killing her the whole day. maybe it's those mixed feelings that were behind this mona lisa expression.
hey it's a statue
let's pose in front of it!
piccadilly square
yours truly in piccadilly square. it's basically london's answer to times square. same huge ads, same huge stores, same tiny police bunker on a traffic island. but everybody's speaking british.
man in moon passage
that's a new one.
hey britvic
even in london, even when hopelessly jetlagged, the meme must go on.
piccadilly station
mom says these were the biggest escalators she's ever seen.

adiv hotel restaurant
we told the ministry of tourism we needed a hotel for the day, and they told us to go to here. the food was good, anyway.
