I would hate to shock you with new news, but yes, it is still raining in London. It is cold and raining
Day 10 - Kensington Palace and the V&A- What a fabulous day to be in London! We went to Kensington Palace. (For all you Royal Watchers, yes the home of Diana, and Wiliam and Kathrine, but also the rich history of the British Monarchy.) Megan bought me the tour book and I fell in love with the Monarchy- who knew. I am especially enthralled by the reign of Victoria and Albert. I sat in her apartment, and read the story of their relationship. I am about to download a book about them We Two: Victoria and Albert: Rulers, Partners, Rivals by Gill. After a fabulous lunch at a cute pub, off to the V&A (the Victoria and Albert Museaum) to see an exibit on theatre production. We stopped off in one section of the museum dedicated to British Bling, for Megan. Then on to crepes at a local shop. A perfectly sunny day in London, exploring and having a woderful time.
Day 11 -Special thanks to Megan. She gave a wonderful lecture on the technology behind the Olympics. Did you know that some of the Olympic Technology staff will sleep on sight to prevent transport issues and allow 24/7 technology support. She did a great job, and had the kids laughing, and getting into pretty intense debates on the use of the Speedo LZR suit. The students had very insightful things to say.
Tommorrow off to explore Bath, and to spend some time in a hot spring.
