Ghost Walk- London.. this in keeping with the tradition of Key West, Alexandria, Charleston
Our guide, an actress who sang a couple ditties as well!
Night scenes.. it was wonderful to be able to tour at night, rather than hurry from one destination to another purposefully.. as one does when a single woman alone in a big city. Note the Tower Bridge. Our guide explained that during the Plague (which she said was separate from the Black Death), houses with an occupant that was infected were marked on the exterior with a red cross.. indicating that desperate illness was inside and cautioning those that would enter. Curious how the meaning of Red Cross has evolved.
