The Tower of London, originally uploaded by ECUK08.

Everyone has been busy over the weekend. On Saturday Prof. Wolfe took everyone to the Tower of London. Built in 1078 by William the Conquerer, the royal families called it home for nearly 600 years. We saw the Queen's jewels, rooms filled with muskets, pistols and sabers. We saw the torture rack and the chopping block, instruments that ensured the Tower of London would be haunted for centuries. Once we finished there, Prof. Wolfe set us free to explore London for the rest of the weekend. On Sunday Ken, Kate and Erica spent the day at the London Zoo. Emily, Andrew and John went to visit Emily's family just outside of London. And Coleman, Zach and Ben watched Manchester United Football team capture the Premier Title, while Jeremy and Jess went to Movieum in London to see the UK's contribution to the Cinema. We've used our time very well.
