While Sandra was in town, we also went to the Tower of London. The first part of the fortress was built in 1080 and many different monarchs added on to it over the years. It is one of the biggest tourist attractions in London. Here is a picture from the outside.
Sandra and I got to the Tower early in the morning to beat all the crowds. The Tower has served many different roles. One of which is to house the crown jewels. That's right, the Queen's famous crowns live in the Tower of London and are brought to her for different occasions. Here is the building were the jewels are housed with a guide on the outside standing watch. Inside, you get on a flat escalator and sail by the jewels. It is kinda funny. But very impressive.
You can walk around and explore the Tower and see many different things. Here is Sandra standing in front of a big cannon.
There are also tons of armor and wood horses that were made over the last few centuries.
You can also walk around the top of the fortress to see how they use to protect the place. Here I am playing with my camera.
There was also some cool artwork around the place.
The Tower is also famous for being a prison and the place of many deaths. Many famous executions happened here. Here is the place where Anne Boleyn, second wife to Henry VIII was killed in 1536.
Sandra and I also took a hour long tour with a Yeoman (Queen's bodyguard). They are people who have serviced in the royal services for over 22 years. Now they work and live at the Tower of London. Our tour guide was extremely animated and told us many great stories about the Tower.
We had a fun time during our visit, we also got to visit the Loo of Year! :) Too funny.
We wondered through the small museum that talked about the history of the Globe and then took a guided tour through the place. Here is Sandra in front of one of the many costumes that was on display.
Our guided tour was really just us sitting in the Globe to get a feel of the place. 
While we were there, rehearsals were going on for an upcoming show. This guy on the stage was practicing being dropped into the set through the mesh "ceiling". He did it a number of times while we were there. 
After the Globe, Sandra and I wondered through town. We found this bronze statue of Churchill and Roosevelt having a chat. We decided to take some photos. We had a lot of fun and people passing by were also laughing.
After that, I took Sandra to one of the department stores that had a fantastic hat selection. Here is us being British! 
Can you believe someone would wear this!
