it a second time, I will.”

experience.”

and gained friends of a lifetime.”

Lloyd’s of London
The Lutine Bell . . .
• This is the famed Lutine Bell at
Lloyd's of London. It is rung
whenever a ship goes down
anywhere in the world. It also
rang on 9-11-2001.
•
Lloyd's is the world's largest
and foremost insurance
consortium. This bell tower
sits on a trading floor where
insurance risks are bought and
sold. Lloyd's operates much
like a stock exchange, but at a
much slower pace.
•
They don't give tours at
Lloyd's, but we got far more
than a tour.
