A Not So Foggy Day

Why is that every day I travel to London, I have Michael Buble singing in my head? On the train, I find myself humming "A Foggy Day (In London Town)" as we zip along the tracks. Saturday was no exception...minus one little detail... usually, it really is foggy or rainy.

Miracle of miracles! It was bright and sunny!

Jamie and I set off to our first site of the day: The Imperial War Museum. Although it was, of course, very moving, thought-provoking, and humbling, it was also incredible. By far one of the best museums I've been in. They had two rooms that made the World Wars more of a reality. They truly gave me an even deeper appreciation for the amazing men and women who gave their lives and dedication to the USA. One of the rooms was a walk-through depiction of what it was like to be in the trenches. The other was a simulation of what it was like to be in a bomb raid shelter. Both were quite moving experiences.

One of the exhibitions actually contained a chunk of the Berlin Wall.

Our second site of the day was the Monument, which was created to remember the London fire of 1666.

There is still so much of London to see! Today was such a gorgeous day to take in the sites. To top it off, it was beautifully sunny. A great day to mark the one month anniversary of being a temporary British resident. :)

"But the age of miracles, hadn't passed. For suddenly I saw you there. And through foggy London town the sun was shinning everywhere."
