Day 16---more of London

outside the Natural History Museum

 Such a busy day today!  Started out for the Natural History Museum early, hoping to be there when it opened at 10 and be done in time to walk back thru Kensington Garden, but the line was soooo long!  We didn't get inside until almost 11.  we managed to see a good bit tho before we had to leave to meet my friend Amanda and her daugher Becky.  I was so happy that they could come up from Kent to meet us today, I haven't seen Amanda since we left Hong Kong and hadn't gotten to meet Becky at all!  Amanda took us on a walk around the Thames today.
