Lake Havasu

Yesterday we took an hour drive south to Lake Havasu to see "The London Bridge". It was originally built in 1831 over the Thames River in London, England. It was bought by Lake Havasu City in the early 1960's when it was going to be torn down in London. Each brick was dismantled, cleaned and numbered, then shipped to Lake Havasu, Arizona and rebuilt on a man made canal off of the side of Lake Havasu. It is guite amazing what a community will do to attract tourism! Hey, it got us there didn't it? It was a fun day and we even took the dogs and had a picnic in the park beside the lake.

Tomorrow we will leave Bullhead City and drive about 150 miles East to Williams, AZ which is close to the Grand Canyon.
