Final day in the old UK

It is our final day here and instead of heading out to Oxford with Annie, we instead decided to see more of London.  Annie knows this city inside and out, so she suggested we head to the Bankside area of London.  Our trek took us first to Tate Modern, a free modern art museum.  We saw a few Picasso and Francis Bacon paintings, just to name a few.  Next stop was St. Paul' s Cathedral where Prince Charles and Princess Di got married.  Walking along the Thames, we stopped at the Globe Theater, where Shakeperian plays are still held. Very cool to see. From there we headed off to see the Southwark Cathedral.  We did get to see the inside of that and we are so glad we did as there was a group from Virginia performing.  The music, comprised of ten harpists, three violinists, and some bass and celloists, was exquisite.  We could have sat there forever as it felt like we were in heaven with the sound of the harps and the beauty of the old cathedral.  Eventually our stomachs won out so off to the Borough's Market we went.  Jan opted for a Middle Eastern dish while Dave had a stilted burger with blue cheese.  Meandering down the street, we stopped to get something to drink and soon found ourselves viewing dancing of the Hammersmith Morris (London German dancers) group and Austrian dance group.  They each put on separate performances and were really friendly folks!  Last stop was at Greenwich where we visited the National Maritime Museum  and hiked up to a peak where we were on the prime meridian which, due to GPS has shifted a bit from where it was first determined to be (Dave saw that on the TV while we were here!). It was a long subway ride back but here we are in our little flat packing away for our return home. All in all, a very good way to close out our 2015 "expedition"
