Yesterday we went to Stonehenge. It was spectacular. They have carbon dates some of the artifacts to almost 5000 years ago. They call is a pre-historic monument. They don't allow you to go touch the stones, but we walked all the way around.
After Stonehenge we toured The Tower of London. Saw the armor of Henry VIII. He was huge for his day. 6'1" and 240 lbs. A giant! Because he was such a large man, his armor weighed an incredible amount.
We also saw the crown jewels. There really are no words to describe them but they are gorgeous. We saw the Beefeaters who are actually the Yeoman Warders, the guardians of the Crown Jewels.
In the evening we went to the O2 entertainment complex and say Peter Pan. It was done is the round with virtual scenery and of course flying actors! Very well done, spectacular media.
We are goign to the British Museum, touring the Globe Theatre and tonight seeing Twelth Night. I'll post pictures later on! Gotta run!
BTW, it's snowing here in London!

I was wondering if the snow has impacted your travel at all. The snow in London was mentioned on NPR this morning!
