Sunday in London

I am writing this a day late, but hopefully, you will survive.

We did a bunch of stuff on Sunday. We got up early to have breakfast
with the group at the hotel. It was a full English breakfast which
looked about the same as what you would get in the US. Then we were
off to Greenwich on the train. Our first stop was the Cutty Sark, an
old tea shipping vessel. We went aboard, learned the history, and
acted like pirates. It was a lot of fun.


The next big event after lunch was going to the Greenwich observatory
which was the center of time itself and the Prime Meridian. We got a
nice picture there and walked through the museum where we learned
about some of the first time pieces used for navigation and how to
calculate longitude and latitude.
