Pictures don't do it justice

We had a busy day today.  First up, we went to Westminster Abbey.  We had quite the line to get in then did the free audio tour.  It was fun.  Of course they do not allow pictures inside.

We then took a stroll including a stop to eat our sandwiches near Buckingham palace.


We also wandered by the horse guards.  The horses seemed a bit irritated.  The guards were stoic as always.


We then passed by Trafalger Square and caught a bit of a protest/rally.



It was quite the parade.  Many different issues represented.


We saw quite a few of the protesters on the tube later with their signs in tow.


Next up was the British Museum.  Now I. Love to take pictures and all, but it really is quite pointless for people to try to get decent pictures of the Rosetta Stone, amazing though it is.  Still, we got some fun shots.  Maggie had a scavenger hunt that she was doing, so we ran about and saw many fine objects.



We also checked out a couple of the highlights.



Could not resist an ancient fist bump (not for real, just a photo op).



Next we went to a playground and Maggie played in the sand.  I was mostly fascinated by the dancers.


Now off to bed before I tip over.
