British history by foot!

Today was full of British, and world, history. We began our day with a trip to the imperial was museum. A large museum on just about every major military related conflicted from world war I till today. Of course the world wars are a topic that we all know a good amount about, it is interesting to see the story told from a different perspective. I can't wait to see some similar museums in germany where the perspective is drastically different. They also had some awesome tanks, planes, and missiles, as well as a nice holocaust exhibit.

After around 3 hours in the museum we finally had to leave due to hunger. We headed to the borough market and discovered one of the largest, most delicious collections of food vendors i have ever seen. Dave got lamb, I got wild boar, and Greg... Veggie. The market was under the London bridge, which unfortunately led to the occasional smell of feces.

We ended our day with a walk around Westminster and Whitehall. This area is home to the typical landmarks... Big ben, parliament, tralfagor square and Denison rd where the prime minister lives. We made this walk while listening to a Rick steves audio tour on our iPhones. I'm sure the site of the 3 of us strolling thru London with our headphones in and simultaneously pointing at the same buildings was hilarious to others.

Pictures to be posted soon.
