We crossed the Millennium Bridge from St. Pauls and they went for a tour of the rebuilt Globe Theatre and I went to the Tate Modern. We took the Jubilee Line to Westminster, which is my all-time-favorite tube station in London. It is so high-tech and futuristic -- I love it. They then took a quick turn around the Banqueting House, after which we took the bus home. Finn has wanted to ride a bendy bus (one of the very long one-story buses that bend in the middle and make absolutely no sense in London) so we took one to Piccadilly Circus and then caught the good old #94 bus home. Kris and I joined the Youngs for tea at the Kensington Palace Orangery.
Presently, Maren and Gavin are touring Kensington Palace and Kris and I brought Finn home. On the way we encountered a great old guy feeding the squirrels, which made Finn ecstatic.

The squirrel guy made Finn very happyThe Youngs are going to Spamalot tonight and we will watch the boys. Tomorrow we are off to Kew Gardens with the students on their "London study day." That's all for now.

How fun! Sigh just 2 more weeks, just 2 more weeks. Yipee!!
I know it must be more work, but I think it is great to have the boys there with Maren and Gavin.
Great pic of Westminster station.
Millie, It has been so fun to have them here. We will miss them very much.

Has Finn fed the ducks at the Round Pond?
Finn fed the ducks in the Lake District at Ambleside, but had not fed the round-pond ducks. He has also fed a squirrel or two on the Flower Walk.
