St. Paul's Cathedral and Greenwich

Friday saw another busy day in the city. Our first stop was St. Paul's Cathedral. You'll probably remember that we tried going there last week, but got there 5 minutes too late to enter. Well, Friday we got in. We wandered around with our audioguides for a good 2 hours and had lunch down in the crypt. You can't take pictures inside, so I don't have anything fun to show. Here's another picture of Mom and Dad outside the Cathedral last weekend.

Edgar left work a few hours early on Friday and met us in Greenwich, which is right by his office. Our goal was to visit the Royal Observatory and stand on the Prime Meridian line. This is the dividing line between the Eastern and Western hemispheres. It is also the beginning of time, so to speak. It is the keeper of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), from which all other time zones are set. The museum there shows a really fun history of clocks and all sorts of navigational tools. It's amazing how anyone ever found their way around before they were perfected!
