Saturday, June 19th: From Jason's Diary

We had cereal for breakfast, then walked to the Farnborough train station. We arrived at the Waterloo Station in London around 10:30. We walked across the Westminster Bridge, seeing the famous Parliament buildings, with Big Ben, to our left. We wound out way to Trafalgar Square and had lunch at McDonalds.

We spent the next couple of hours at the National Gallery viewing work by Rembrandt, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Turner, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Seurat, Pissaro and many others (there are over 2000 paintings in the Gallery).

We then walked to the Queen Theater in Covent Garden area and saw Les Miserables. It was a powerful performance full of primal human emotions of revenge, forgiveness, justice, mercy, and love...

After returning to our home in Farnborough I finished my PD James mystery, Death of an Expert Witness. To bed around 11pm.
