We started off the morning with a traditional English breakfast: bacon, eggs, sausage links, toast, a big mushroom, and baked beans. It wasn't too bad, but the beans and bean sauce got into everything and made it all taste like beans. We decided to take the tube (subway), which was pretty intimidating at first, but Alicia got to be pretty good at figuring out the routes and the transfer stations and we didn't have any trouble. The first place we went to was Madame Tussuad's (wax museum). It was neat, and we got some funny pictures, but was too expensive. Next, we went to St Paul's Cathedral. WOW, it was beautiful. It has the second largest free standing dome in the world and we climbed 500 plus steps to get to the top. It was exhausting, but worth the trip. The last place we went today was the Tower of London. We saw the crown jewels, lots of medieval weapons, and several implements of torture. That is the short of it, but we have many more pictures and stories to tell when we get back.

Find an archive (Westminister Abby) look up Robert Hunter. You were named after a Scottish(we think) lawyer named Robert Hunter who lived centuries ago. Pa Hunter found his name when he was in England during the war. Have a great time. Love, Mom and Dad
