Londontown...Londontown

We woke up on this Saturday in London, happy to see the sun shining. Had a bit of breakfast and then off to the British Museum - one of the best in the world. Here's Joy on platform getting ready to get on the tube downtown.
On the tube, we saw this ad...very interesting.
After getting off, we headed to the museum - here's the interior courtyard.

There we saw things like the Rosetta Stone - which is an Ancient Egyptian artifact which was instrumental in advancing modern understanding of hieroglyphic writing.

Joy doing knuckles bump with a big hand!

After walking around for a couple of hours, we were "museum'd" out and went to eat some fish 'n chips, soup and then finished off with a sticky toffee pudding. Yummm!

Snow in London. Can it be?


Not for 18 years has there been snow like this in London. Last Monday was the worst (or best) depending if you like school or not :-).

Here is a picture of our London hosts, Jay & Judy Smith, back yard.

It started to snow some more as we sat around the table catching up.
