Jolly old

I have been in London for the past day, running around with R and doing everything fun that there is to do! We are off again so this will be brief, with more details later. Yesterday we saw the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels (there is a moving sidewalk going past so there is not any time to SEE them, and that is after lining up forever), a really bad tea and coffee museum (I KNOW. Tea and Coffee in a museum. Should have known), and old operating theatre, where there was a display on trepanning. I think trepanning is fascinating so I was very pleased to see that. The theatre was quite disturbing actually - it is abover a church, no anesthetic was used during the operations and sawdust covered the floor so that the spurting blood would not drip down into the church. We also saw a wonderful museum about Britain at War, with a bomb shelter and the recreation of a bombed street.

Okay, time to go!
