London, May 31

Today is our last whole day in London.
Stephen and I went to a special exhibit at the British Museum of Egyptian artifacts recently discovered and retrieved from under the sea.
Karen stayed behind because her leg is still bothering her.
After the museum we walked a few blocks to Covent Garden, a covered area of shops and restaurants.
We had lunch in an old pub there, The Punch and Judy. I had my first English pub meal!
After lunch we walked toTrafalgar Square and saw Nelson's Column then took the underground back home.
I made dinner of  pasta with chicken and broccoli for the 4 of us.
It has been a great trip , really enjoyed spending time with Stephen and getting to share seeing part of Europe with him!

As you might be able to tell, Leigh is quite a character!
We are glad Stephen is surrounded by good friends.
