For the rest of the day we continued checking out the sites of London visiting the London Eye, Big Ben, West Minister Abbey and Tate Britain.
Hannah could not resist purchasing a large pencil from the Tate British museum and was quite proud of it. She asked the cashier if it came with a pencil sharper but alas it did not but a large knife would do, therefore Colin's gift was decided. She kept wondering who could use this pencil...the hulk, the iron giant, etc. We then came upon another, larger pencil...and her pencil no longer seemed as giant.
We have been traveling on the tube throughout our days. So here is Hannah, master of the tube.
In the early evening we walked over to Hyde Park and enjoyed the great outdoors away from the busy, crowded down town. The animals, pigeons and squirrels, were very tame probably because they are feed by people constantly. Below is a "bird lady" and a Peter Pan statue.
Our London home. Extremely basic but has everything we need.
Night!
Rachel, today Germany eliminated England in the world cup. Do not speak with a German accent. Dad
ReplyDeleteMom here. This has been so great to follow you and Hannah on your trip. When I was Hannah's age, we move back from Germany and went through London, Julie and I tried to get the guards to break a smile. On that trip, I saw The Sound of Music on stage in London. This was right before the movie come out!
ReplyDeleteDid you get Les Mis tickets?
ReplyDeleteHey Dad, thanks for the advice. We kept checking the score and people were definitely subdued for the latter half of the day.
ReplyDeleteWe did get tickets for tonight but will be seeing Oliver. Hannah and I are both excited!
I think they redesigned the BP guard hats so that you can't see them smile.
