Today was the perfect blend of sleeping in, learning about England's monarchies and sight seeing. We met Sarah at 1:30 at the National Gallery and learned about the diptych commissioned by Richard II and saw the initial sketch for a painting of Henry VIII, Henry VII and their wives. After class concluded, about 4:00, the weekend began.
SO, we adventured to Abby Road. It was perfect because none of us were wearing jackets. However, it was a bit anticlimactic. There weren't any signs or souvenir shops (like there probably would be if Abby Rd. was in America) There was another big group of tourists, though. Luckily for us, cars in London drive very conservatively and ALWAYS stop for pedestrians. We were able to take a number of pictures at our leisure. Oh wait, cars here drive like they are racecars and we almost got hit 20 times.
It's all part of the experience, though.

I am so jealous of you visiting Abbey Road, which is of course my favorite album. I can hear the music now. I also have an autographed picture of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road. I can't wait to see your photos. Love, Aunt Penny
