Howdy, Hawks!
Today I went to the Tower of London, a famous castle and fortress on the banks of the River Thames! The center of the castle was built almost a thousand years ago, in 1078, by a king named William the conqueror. William used the castle to defend his city from attack, and other kings have used it and added onto it for hundreds of years.
Today, the Tower of London houses a collection called the Crown Jewels. These are the crowns, sceptres, tiaras, and diamonds worn by the kings and queens of England. One crown I saw held over 12,000 diamonds!
I sure am enjoying my trip! We walked and walked today until we could hardly walk any longer. Tomorrow I will take a train to Windsor, where we'll see the queen's house. I'll be sure to take some neat pictures for you!
Till then,
Miss Beverly
