London day three

Well, I think we all know the routine now. We got up and on the Tube fairly easily. We went to Westminster Abby, Parliament, Big Ben, Churchill War Rooms, Buckingham Palace and then a quick trip back to the British Museum. Seems like we saw quite a bit today, but we were really hoping for a cruise down the Thames or a walk down the river, but there just wasn't time and we were pretty tired. It was really hot today and no air conditioning, even in the museums. It was sweltering, but we didn't let that stop us, even Dad kept going. I bet it was 90 degrees or more up on the third floor of the British Museum, but our enthusiasm and desire to reward ourselves with ice cream and beer kept us going.









Tonight at dinner our waitress told us goodbye and " see you again someday, please God". Judy heard that saying in novels and I guess it is a British term for, "if it is pleasing to God, I'll see you again"

Taking our dinner reservation and putting it into the computer she said, "ok, it is sorted". Meaning, I figured it out, it's done.

We find it interesting that every evening at local pubs tons of people stand outside drinking their beer. It gets really loud, and busier on Thursday and Friday with people drinking after work. We are staying in an area of locals with fewer tourists.



London has great sites, but it feels very overwhelming getting around to see them. So many people, so much traffic, and so much effort getting on and off the Tube. But worth it!



Our final beer!



See....we have been minding our gap!
