Another thing that was on my 'To Do' list was the Museum of London. This is a pic of the old medieval wall of London, which apparently was built on the old Roman wall of London. In other words, London is OLD!
I feel silly now, I didn't take any photos inside the museum...maybe they said I couldn't. But it covered the Celts/Britons, Vikings, Saxons, Normans and everybody else who invaded/settled in Britain. The Plague part was a bit unsettling....I would have thought the world was ending as well....it was interesting though, they said that the people after the Plague didn't seem to become pious, but turned to even more wicked ways in the end (according to a display in the museum)....that is opposite of what I would have thought...
Just outside the museum is this big plaque that talks about how near this spot (maybe on that very spot; after WII damage, who knows...) where John Wesley experienced 'the warmth in his heart' and his 'conversion'....it was nice to hear him express his conversion through those feelings...
Lisa, Sage and I then realized we had a few hours before I had to get to the airport, so we decided to dine in the Borough Market.
It's a huge market near London Bridge/Southwark Cathedral that has ton o' stuff from all over. I ate a venison burger, an Ostrich burger, apple streudel, tasted lots of freebies (cheeses, etc.), and then ended the excursion with the purchase of a chocolate bar made by Italian monks, that I ate on the train to the airport. Wunderbar! Mmm...
