Had an awesome time in London!<\/p>\n

Here are some of the highlights!
\nThe Natural History museum is incredible!
\n\"nm\"<\/p>\n

I love dinosaurs! It was great to see real fossils from some of my favorites, like this one!
\n\"p\"<\/p>\n

I happened to be eating in a small cafe that was making a movie. I’m in it!
\n\"m\"
\nNot sure if you saw the DaVinci Code. I enjoyed walking through the Temple Church, home of the Knights Templar.
\n\"t\"<\/p>\n

You don’t see statues like this in many churches!
\n\"s\"
\nThe stained glass was amazing!
\n\"sg\"<\/p>\n

What’s London without Big Ben?
\n\"bb\"
\nDid you know that “Ben” is actually the bell?<\/p>\n

I enjoy modern art. I like Andy Warhol in particular. This is from the Tate Modern.
\n\"a\"<\/p>\n

Super cool to visit the reconstructed Globe Theatre.
\n\"g\"
\n\"g\"<\/p>\n

Are you a Shakespeare fan? Who isn’t?
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Visited the George Inn where Shakespeare and Chaucer and Ben Franklin used to visit.
\n\"g\"<\/p>\n

I can’t get over the age of these buildings!
\n\"11\"<\/p>\n

But if you want real age, check out this place!
\n\"sh\"<\/p>\n

Here’s me with the Rosetta Stone! Incredible things at the British Museum!
\n\"rs\"<\/p>\n

Gotta love the Easter Island heads!
\n\"ei\"<\/p>\n

Did you know I was born on Julius Caesar’s birthday? July 12, baby!
\n\"jc\"<\/p>\n

They have more mummies than you can shake a stick at.
\n\"m\"<\/p>\n

The Elgin Marbles from the Parthanon!
\n\"em\"<\/p>\n

Amazing!<\/p>\n

I’m a HUGE Ben Franklin fan! (My Mom was born on his birthday! Wise woman!) He actually walked up and down these steps.
\n\"bf\"<\/p>\n

I was in awe.
\n\"b\"
\nHere’s his study.
\n\"bfs\"<\/p>\n

It’s the only remaining residence of him in the world.<\/p>\n

This is called Cleopatra’s needle. Cool obelisk.
\n\"co\"<\/p>\n

I love Egyptian stuff!
\n\"e\"<\/p>\n

I attended a worship service in Westminster Abbey.
\n\"wa\"
\nI read my part of the responsive reading with super enthusiasm. I liked the idea of my voice echoing through that amazing cathedral.<\/p>\n

\"wa\"<\/p>\n

I did a cool tour through London at night.
\n\"lb\"
\nVisited where Jack the Ripper was. He was near London Bridge.<\/p>\n

This statue was on top of the Marble Arch. I liked the way the sun lit it up.
\n\"ma\"<\/p>\n

Changing of the guard.
\n\"cg\"
\nSuper cool! I remember being there when I was a little Tim, back in 1964!<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace with fancy pants gates!
\n\"g\"<\/p>\n

I told him I liked his hat.
\n\"g\"
\nHe wasn’t impressed by my wit.<\/p>\n

The Beefeater liked me better!
\n\"b\"<\/p>\n

Parliament is another amazing structure!
\n\"p\"<\/p>\n

Met some new friends at a conference I went to.
\n\"t\"
\nWe’re interested in how language can be used to improve people’s lives! Words have power, baby!<\/p>\n

I guess this sums it up!
