Day 5-Windsor and London

Today was another great day in the UK. This is the first day that the sun has not been shining. We had cool drippy weather while we were in the city.

First stop Windsor Castle. The castle was simply amazing. The people of this country have done an excellent job of preserving their artifacts and heritage. It is so fascinating to see books, paintings, documents and buildings that are hundreds of years old. The grounds of the castle are unbelievable! The moat area that has been planted in roses and other beautiful flowers is a sight to behold! Definately fit for The Queen!

After another fast and furious ride on the tube we arrived at the British Library.

There were some original manuscripts of Alice in Wonderland, Handel's Messiah, the Beatles songs, and original drawings of Leonardo DaVinci. One of them was about weight and motion.

Back on the tube and on to Kensington Park, for a picture of Peter Pan. The parks in London are very beautiful and well maintained.

We got to see Friday afternoon rush hour up close and personal. There were tons of people on the tube and the trains this afternoon. All rushing home to a 10 x 10 square of a grass patch and a house that is not very large.

The Tower of London and St. Pauls is tomorrow! Hope the weather will be good.
