A Visit to England

A VISIT TO ENGLAND

Our Grand Tour of Europe started in jolly old England. We got there several days early to see more of the sights than the tour allowed, due to the short time scheduled there. We were glad we did because there is much to see. From Piccadily circus to the National Museum to just having a pint in a local pub. We visited the reconstructed Globe Theatre and saw the Queen and the Trooping of the Colors. It was a memorable visit.
