Dia TRES; Londres!

Today's quiz winner will be treated to a English scone!

Day 3 will include sightseeing in London and an excursion to Windsor Castle.  We will probably start our day with a driving tour of London at 9:00am (probably NOT on a double decker bus)  We should make a photo stop at St. Paul's Cathedral.

St Paul's, with its world-famous dome, is an iconic feature of the London skyline. Step inside and you can enjoy the cathedral's awe-inspiring interior, and uncover fascinating stories about its history.  http://www.stpauls.co.uk/

9.  Where might you like to eat lunch?  What American restaurant can you find?

I thought it might be fun to eat at the Crooked House, but with more searching did not find good reviews.  I guess I'll keep looking.

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the Official Residence of Her Majesty The Queen. Its rich history spans almost 1000 years. http://www.windsor.gov.uk/

We will also see Queen Mary's Dolls' House.

14.  When was it made?

15.  To what scale was it made?

16.  What did you find interesting about it?

We should also have some free time for souvenir shopping before heading back to London for dinner.  While I did not find a required dress code for St. Paul's and St. George's, this would probably be a good day for the girls to not wear shorts, just in case.
