Day 10 Windsor Castle, Kew Gardens, Heston Infant School

This picture is from last nights dinner (although we ate there again tonight).  The salad came with an ice cream sunday afterwards.  Yumm!!!

This hotel has a pool.  Let the kids blow off some steam before bed.  They have been fantastic so far on the trip.  As long as we all have wifi for at least part of the day.

Todays visit was to Windsor Castle.

The back of the castle-the guide today us this is only open on rare occasions, when the queen is traveling and not in the London area.

We asked someone to take a picture of the 4 of us at Windsor and it is a nice picture of the 4 of us but Windsor is missing...

I liked the spires all grouped togeteher

fake phone booth on the street-you are supposed to take your picture and send it off to the address below to post your picture with it.  We didn't.

20 years ago I did my student teaching through FSU in London.  I live in downtown London in a flat with 5 other FSU student-none of which where student teaching.  I would catch the tube at the Holborn  station get off one exit before Heathrow airport at West Houslow, then catch the bus and walk to the school.  Well today we stopped by where I taught.  It has change a lot-there is a much bigger school there now.  The little school I taught in is in the front of the property used as a community center.

Sage and I washed last night in the bath tub-sock and other items.  We have enough clean stuff to get though to the end now.  The boys mostly sprayed Fabrees on their clothes and are talking about buying a few things they need to get through to the end.

Socks hanging to dry.
