Spent the morning in the incredible British Library. Ann in librarian's heaven! The Magna Carta, Canterbury Tales, oldest book in world from China in the 800's! King James Bible from 1650. Leonardo da Vinci's journals. More recent, John Lennon's Original Hard Days Night lyrics scribbled on back of his son's birthday card. I'll write more about this later if anyone interested. Then to British Museum to see THE Rosetta stone, couldn't cover a fourth of museum in one afternoon. Could spend a week there and not see it all. Managed to find a pub open since Victoria was queen, beautiful bar and great fish and chips!
Train to Scotland tomorrow afternoon, haven't covered half of our to-do list in London, but we tried!
Most excellent trip. Yes, we are interested in hearing more. Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteSounds great!
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying keeping up with you, Erik and Zoe
Thanks for these updates, pretty cool to follow your adventures in near real time.
ReplyDeleteThe hot tub is being gratefully used and your plants are hunky dory. Don't forget Peebles, Scotland while you're up there, but keep us in the loop wherever you may travel.
Hey-- I think this even beats Mexican breakfasts at Bobby's. Sounds like ya'll are hitting all of the high spots, a few less-than-high-spots-- and doing the UK thing up right. Thanks for taking the time to Blog. Nice to be taking the virtual UK tour from Salado. Bill and Susan
