Since we began our trip, we have been on an airplane, automobiles (taxis), and the Underground. Today we traveled by boat and bus (those famous red London double deckers) as we went outside of London into Greenwich to see what it was like without throngs of people everywhere. It was a lovely town with quaint shops and cafes. In spite of the drizzling day, we had a nice time on the boat listening to even more history of London, including stories of Jack the Ripper and the English Pirate, Sir Francis Drake. Bob went to the top of the boat where there was no cover to take several pictures.

While in Greenwich, there was a Christmas market full of artwork, pottery, and other London treasures. Lynn and Bob picked up a painting of London for their “travel wall” at home, along with an artist’s picture of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

After returning to London, we found another British Pub Cafe that served the normal local fare–the best part was a cutting board of breads, cheeses, salamis, and sauces that we all shared. We ended the day with pastries from the bakery across from our hotel.

It is already 7:30–and, I think yesterday wore us out, so back to the Hotel early to relax and pack for our return home to the States tomorrow. It has been a trip of a lifetime, but I think we are all ready to return to our familiar surroundings and routines.

Thanks for following us for the past week–we enjoyed your posts, texts, and e-mails. See you soon!

Ray, Gladys, Bob and Lynn
