 This is our tour guide for our walk today and will guide us again on Saturday. When we stood in the spot that had all the names of the people who were beheaded he showed us his relative's name. Later he told us about another relative that was mad and was killed in London tower. Not all people should go back to their roots.
 The Tower of London had an elephant, a polar bear, and lions to make up a zoo back in the day 
Tower of London
Tents for the archers at Tower of London

One of the battleships was used in world war II and was changed into a museum. Strange what getting old does to a ship.
This is a piece of the London bridge that we all sang about as kids. This came from the bridge that Shakespeare would recognize.
Another piece of an old version of the London bridge. Dickens lived around this bridge. It was sold to a guy who put it up in Arizona.
We have to use our oyster cards for public transportation.
The girls I traveled here with

Fountain in St. James Park 



This is a monument to remember the great fire. They blamed a Dutch Baker, a Belgium wind, and the monument itself blames the Catholics for the fire. They all would have sang some Billy Joel (We didn't start the Fire).
