Today we went to the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge Tour. At the Tower of London, I sat right next to the Crypt of Henry the VIII in the Queens private Chapel. We are practically besties now. Got to see the Ravens and learned that this is where the"Zoo" was before the London Zoo was started. I also saw the chopping block where many members of Royalty were beheaded. ... kinda creepy. Didn't realize that it is still one of the Queens working palaces. The Crown Jewels were pretty amazing. ... but couldn't stand to stare at them too long because you view them from a moving walkway. The collection of Armor was pretty extensive.
The Tower Bridge was pretty cool. ...I even worked up the nerve to walk across the glass floor hundreds of yards above the street and Thames River below.
I'm pretty much an expert navigating the London Underground. ...."Mind the Gap". I cooked dinner for everyone tonight. ...I didn't do a very good job on the Indian Food because Danielle ended up with a sour stomach and spent the rest of the night at the flat. Kris and I went to Hyde Park to check out the "Winter Wonderland" festivities. It was like a carnival on Santa Steroids. So much to do and see. Tomorrow. ..... the London Zoo.
