We ended our amazing summer in London with a stop at The Tower. It is one place we really wanted to see and so glad we went. It is an amazing structure with so much history!
The White Tower complete with the chopping block they used to behead Anne Boleyn. And Henry VIII armor from the time her was a little boy until right before his death. (he was quite a large man in the end!)
The tower also houses the Crown Jewels which are amazing! The worlds largest diamond can be found there. I just finished reading "the other boleyn girl" and now am wishing I would have paid a little more attention while we were there. Pretty much all the queens of the Tudor period were imprisoned there at one time or another. Such an amazing history.
The bridge was one of my favorite sites in London! It is so beautiful! We rode across it a few time but never walked. I was pretty tired of walking after three months straight of it! But I loved to see it!
We are home now and I haven't missed London until I started to look at these pictures! It is such an amazing place with such culture. I am glad I got to be a part of it, even if it was just for a little while. So we are in transit now, moving from one nations capital to another! Wish us luck!
