Greenwich






A has decided that she hates history. By the end of our time in Europe then, no doubt she will hate us, because it is exactly what is missing in the U.S. and what we are interested in seeing. It was a stunning day on Saturday for our trip to Greenwich, which in terms the London Underground, is quite a journey away from us. We walked along the Thames and then headed to the National Maritime Museum. A promptly found a seat in every room we entered. I now know why Admiral Nelson was so important in British history, but ask her and she will say, “Who?” We then walked up to the Royal Observatory to see Harrison’s famous clocks. They had a really nice display. We then ventured to Greenwich Market where A found a gift for her best friend and we had some delicious things to eat like these Italian (don’t know what they’re called so I will call them) croquettes, which had rice, cheese and ham inside.
