more London and now Glasgow

Yesterday we started the day with a visit to the Natural History Museum. In case you don't know, Doug has a little-boy-like fascination with dinosaurs, so he was very entertained. Next we went to Buckinham Palace (which is kind of a letdown if you are expecting Versailles). Then we headed over to the British museum where we saw everything from the Rosetta Stone to mummified cats to Blue Willow dishes. Next we went to the London Tower and Tower Bridge. After that we went to St. Paul's Cathedral for an organ service. We had supper at another English restaurant and then came back to the hotel to pack.
This morning after a big breakfast we took a LONG bus ride to Stansted airport, where we had a delay because it was snowing a lot in London. We finally arrived in a very sunny Glasgow. Kelli showed us around a little bit and then AJ picked us up and took us back to their "flat." They took us out to a nice restaurant for a very yummy 3 course Scottish dinner. Tomorrow we'll explore Glasgow and then Wednesday we'll see Edinburgh!
