Greenwich

 

One of the best parts of today was when a guy came up to us in the park ‘Hi, um, can you point me in the direction of the prime meridian?’ 

Tourists again ruined the best photo moments, but it was still pretty cool rocking out at Longitude ‘0’.  The museum was super cool, and as a result we ‘must’ buy an Astrolabe when we grow up and have a house all of our own (with a pool room in which to store cool stuff like Astrolabes).

As per usual with any tourist destination, half of the stuff you go there to see is covered in scaffolding.  The time ball didn’t drop for us due to this.  But we still all really enjoyed it, science is awesome!

And then, as we were leaving, Isaac hand fed a squirrel TWO peanuts!!! BEST THING EVER!!! The squirrel was on the path..then Isaac shook the bag of nuts that Xtian so generously donated to us for this very purpose. Then he scampered over and took the nut from Isaac’s hand with his little mouth and held it in his fuzzy little hands and then he bounded away and wiggled his bum around in the grass while he searched for somewhere to bury it.  Twice.  So yeah, it was pretty much the best thing that’s ever happened to us.
