First Day

Vern and Beth got here on time and safely. They have been troopers. After a quick trip home to freshen up a bit, we headed into London for a trip to the British museum. Before lunch they had already seen the Assyrian monuments, the Rosetta stone and Cleopatra's mummified form. Then we got to view all the pieces of the Parthenon the British swiped from Greece with permission from the occupying Ottomans back in the 1800's.

After that was a walk to Piccadilly Circus and a scenic ride home on the double decker 94 bus. We even scored the front seats up top. Cheapest tour bus in town. The 94 goes from Piccadilly all the way to Chiswick via Regent Street, Oxford Street, Hyde Park, Notting Hill and Shepherds Bush.

Tomorrow we're off to Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Tower of London. So much to see. So little time.

Left my camera at home today, but tomorrow, all bets are off.
