The first day of the convention started out early, so we walked down to a local eatery called
Cafe Tarte for a traditional English breakfast.

We did a terrible job of photographing food on this trip, so Google images is gonna have to suffice. The young French woman who waited on us was very kind and chatty and gave us a very good first impression of London locals.

| Bacon (what we call ham), sausages, eggs (poached), toast, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes and coffee (or tea) |

Despite having picked up our tickets to the convention the day before, we still had to wait in line to enter the facility.
 |
| Friday was quite deceiving. We thought this was how Saturday and Sunday were going to be. Ha! |

Around 1:00 pm, we ditched the convention and explored the city because LONDON!
 |
| Amazingly beautiful architecture! |
 |
| Hyde Park for high tea, only to discover the restaurant had permanently closed. |
 |
| Kensington Palace and Queen Victoria |
 |
| Natural History Museum |
 |
| We spent several hours inside the Natural History Museum and it was exceptional. All I can really remember, however, is how hot and muggy it was on this day. There were so many people in this giant non-air conditioned building and it was sweltering. When it rained on the walk back to the hotel, it was a welcome relief! |
