First trip to London

Yesterday, Mama, Logan and I took a day trip to London.  We took a two hour train , and then a subway to Trafalger Square.  On the square are huge statues of lions, as well as a giant, neon blue chicken.  Apparently a German artist won some sort of prize, and got to put up a statue or something on Trafalger Square.  Why she chose a giant neon blue chicken is anybodies guess.


On Trafalger Square is the National Gallery, but no pictures were allowed.  Afterward we had lunch, and went to the Tower of London, where we went on a walking tour (led by a guy in a funny costume), saw the bloody tower, and guards whith huge fluffy hats.  At the tower eight ravens are kept, because there is a myth that says  if a raven is not always kept there, than the monarchy will fall apart, and now it is actually a law!
 



Then we saw the crown jewels, which were quite impressive.
Afterward we went to the Museum of the City of London, which was quite cool, but unfortunately it closed before we had a chance to look at everything, so we'll go back later.
It was a long day, but fun.
