Lake Havasu is today an important recreational area for California and Arizona and the city has blossomed into quite the busy little place, although I must say I thought it was relatively quiet there for a summer weekend, but maybe tourist season hasn't quite started yet. The whole place gives off an impression of prosperity and the area down by the bridge looks like a friendly, but ultimately deranged attempt at recreating London in Arizona. I chuckled, but for all the wrong reasons. Take a look and judge for yourself.
A large fountain guarded by two silver lions, their pedestals read "City of London". Only it can't be London, cuz there are no beggars in the streets, no flocks of pigeons crapping on you and you can't hear a Scandinavian language being spoken anywhere.
Hammering up some diagonal boards on the outer wall doth not a Tudor house make.
This phone booth, which looked like the phone had been ripped out of it by chavs high on meth, was really the only authentic looking thing there.
Jesus wept.
The London Bridge.
From a different angle.
Surprisingly, the river walk was deserted.
