And followed it up by seeing the Minion movie. Very nice theater, not crowded, not very air-conditioned and not very buttery popcorn, but a fun show. She especially enjoyed that it was set in London. After that she continued her walk toward Buckingham, but gave up and took the bus after all. The buses weren't so crowded then, but the traffic was terrible. She picked up an ice-cream but failed to pick one up for the queen. She caught the guards in this pose. Queen Victoria once caught the guards talking and so declared that they must face each other silently for 20 minutes every day for the next 100 years.
M and M world. It's much bigger than the one in Las Vegas.
She allowed herself to be scanned to discover her official color. "Your color mood is purple. You have a thirst for knowledge that won't ever be quenched. Same goes for chocolate." Yup. That's accurate.
Moving on, she picked up a book on drawing faces, she says it's the best she's ever seen. Obviously, I will have to borrow this.
Then on to the Ripley's museum. I love these things. And based on the shows like this that I've seen, the British are weirder than anybody. Here are a few of the things she saw:
The original Humbug sweet machine from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
A lovely knitted Ferrari
And this story of Jeremy Bentham---possibly along with Jeremy himself.
And happy days, even though she couldn't get onto the first two buses because they were full, she did get on the third and even got to sit down on the way back to the hostel.
