London by Sylvia

London is great. We went out for Indian food. It was super awesome. My sister got butter chicken and I got a kebab. This something I got a lot in Peru and there it was on a stick. Here the stick was taken out but it was still pretty good. We had to go to this far away place to find the perfect food. I never had Indian food before but the first time I had it it was a good experience.  It was my oldest brother Ryan’s idea.

Big Ben is very pretty. I didn’t know it was attached to the House of Parliament.

Instead of a subway there is the tube. At every stop there is a voice that says MIND THE GAP. That means there is a space between the platform and the train.

London Bridge is not actually London Bridge, it is the Tower Bridge.

We went to see the Tower of London where Mary, Queen of Scotts head was cut off. I will say executed because it sounds less creepy. We saw the grave of Anne Boleyn.  Every year, since her head was executed, or chopped off, on the date,  someone sends 2 dozen roses and no one know who sends them or who pays for them, it’s a mystery.  Anne Boleyn is Henry the 8th’s wife and he had a new wife every day and every morning he executed his wife but Anne Boleyn told him stories every night and stayed alive, is that right? Some people say that if the Ravens ever leave the Tower of London, it will fall into dust. They keep some there in a cage because they don’t want the Tower of London to fall into dust.

Buckingham Palace is where the Queen lives. The Queen has a dog, and I really like this kind of dog, it’s called a corgi. There is a princess and a baby princess. Every 24 hours, there is the changing of the guard. A giant parade, men on horses, a ton of men carrying guns and the whole thing is to change the guards protecting the Queen and the princess and baby princess.

We went to a museum and saw real mummies with bodies in them, real bodies. I thought it was kind of creepy. There was one real Egyptian person called Ginger, curled up in the fetal position,  he had ginger hair that’s why he was called Ginger, and he was laid out under a stone and they brought him all the way to England and I thought it was creepy, too.

We took a tram like in a ski resort up into the sky to get across the Thames. It was a beautiful view. I took a ton of pictures. We also went to see a play called Wicked.  It was very, very great.
