2nd Day in London

Today we went on the London Eye, and went to Westminster Abbey, the Imperial War Museum and the Tower of London. Westminster Abbey was incredible, definitely not a "Bush League" Parish, as Tom's friends from St. Catherines refer to St. Denis. Inside we saw the burial sites of Chaucer, Charles Darwin, T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, Mary Queen of Scots, and a thousand others including...No Kidding... Sir Thomas of Monmouth !!!

Imperial War Museum was amazing, Smithsonian level and free. We spent most of our time in the World War 1 Trenches exhibit and the World War 2 exhibit, we also visited "The Children's War" which detailed the experience of children evacuated from Germany into Britain, and the 1 million children who were evacuated from London during the Blitzkrieg. We spent 2+ hours in the Museum, Poppa and I could have spent 2 days- it was really amazing.

We went to the Tower of London, but did not go in because it was closing within an hour, but we may go back in the morning. To get there we walked over London Bridge, where Tom finally told me "No More Pictures", I told him "Tough Luck, they are for your Mother !" Tomorrow at 6pm we leave for Dublin.
