| We stayed in a hotel right of Leicester (pronounced Lesta) Square in the West End neighborhood. |   We visited the British Museum on our first full day. They had a special exhibition on what it was like to be a Roman Soldier. |     Cool rolling ball clock | Backgammon! |   Meow | Mummy! |   The Rosetta Stone was popular. |   Lots of Egyptian and Assyrian stuff |   From our ancestors! | Very long line for the Tower! But, it moved quickly. |   Mint Street. |   Yeoman Warders gave great talks |   Off with her head! | This is the final resting place of her head! |   No need to see the crown Jewels. | Amorments in the White Tower |   Princely Pooping Place (PPP) | The Tower has a collection of Ravens |   Trator's Gate | The Yeoman Warders lived in the Tower grounds |   The momnument to the great fire of 1666 |   The climb to the top was not too bad | Great views from the top |   Saw the Book of Morman play that night. Fun! | Eric's favorite day: Bletchley Park and The National Museum of Computing. Here is an enigma machine |   The Mansion |     The Huts where the real work was done |   Alan Turings Office | All the Turing Bombes were dismantled after the war |   The The National Museum of Computing had a rebuilt Bombe that actually worked! |   Lots of old computing equipment. Here is a very large plater from a hard disk drive. |   One of Eric's favorites - The Harwell Dekatron Computer that works on base 10 instead of base 2. Really great docents! | This is an early computer memory which holds data as sound waves through mercury. |   The Lorentz Cypher, for German High Command messages | The Colossus - World's first programmable, electronic, digital computer. |     EDSAC |   You know you are old when a computer you used is in a museum! | The Natural History Museum |       Platfor 9 3/4 was dissapointing. This is a "security guard" lecturing another about keeping people (me) far enough away so as to not be able to take good pictures without paying. |   Great meals at at an Indian restaurant called Dishoom | There was a wedding actually taking place at Westminster Abbey! |   Famouse for the toumbs there |       Some restoration |   Poet's Corner |   The Pyx Chamber |   We think this guy is a pickpocket. |   The Transportation Museum | Buckingham Palace |   The National Gallery. Tried to find all the cats. |       Perspective! |   OMG | We went on a Thames river tour and the London Eye |         Pride Day |   One our way back we stayed at the Bellagio | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
