London - May 24-27, 2009


Here we are again at our friend's 300 year old house in London. Norman and Ann Shuker have been great friends for years, and we always enjoy visiting them. We've already made our reservations for the 2012 Olympics.



We visited the Hatfield House where Queen Elizabeth I was staying before she assumed the throne. Above is the new house, which was built from the bricks of the original building that housed the future queen.




This is the only wing remaining from the old house. The tree that Elizabeth was sitting under when she heard the good news is now in storage. We tried to find the new tree that Queen Elizabeth II planted, but were unsuccessful.


We visited the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England. We also walked through the Royal Observatory.


This is our favorite restaurant in Elstree. It is an excellent Chinese restaurant. Our favorite dish is the Peking Duck.
