Sorry I haven't blogged for a little bit. But yesterday we went to Greenwich. It was really cool, we learned a lot about the meridian line and navigation at sea.
First, we went to the Royal Naval College. This is where Thor 2 was filmed so naturally I had to get my Thor shot in.
The architecture was designed by Christopher Wren, the same who did St. Paul's Cathedral. Here is the inside of the painted hall. It was really impressive and the paintings were beautiful.
After the college, we headed over to the Queen's house. This was designed by Inigo Jones. They had a creepy exhibition on war but the rest of it was pretty cool.
We are getting a little tired of photos, so we took some pretty crazy ones.
Taylor Ann took a selfie and she still looks perfect.
Another Mallory selfie :)
This is Greenwich. It is so pretty. It poured that day and it was the first time it poured while we were there and I didn't bring my jacket. Oh well, I did have a umbrella.
Here I am at 0 degrees! The Royal Observatory was really cool and we learned a lot.
Here is the telescope at the observatory
And the planetarium
Greenwich again
Great map at the National Maritime Museum. Mallory is in the US and Sierra is in London. This is how far apart we are.
Pointing to home.
LONDON
Then today, we went to the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. I think it is only a one time thing. We got there early, stood the whole time, roasted in the sun and then got squished by every person trying to get a picture. But it was still cool to see.
Here are the awesome guards.
This is where the Prime Minister lives.
Then tonight, Sydney got her mission call to Lima North mission. It was her night and she choose Thai food. This was mine, a type of pad thai and it was so delicious. I loved it!!
Great night. Can't believe we only have a few more weeks. *Also I changed like 3 times today cause it was so hot!*
Cheers




I am so jealous you went to Greenwich! Did you see Harrison's chronometer? I need to visit Greenwich next time.
