We really are in London!


On Saturday we had a chance to get started on London exploration. We purchased our OYSTER cards (pay-as-you-go transportation cards), hopped on the #43 bus and headed to London Bridge station along the Thames river. We took a short boat tour up river to the Westminster stop next to the parliment buildings and the London Eye. It was a gorgeous day and we had a good time. There is sooo much to see!
Our training continues as we meet the different individuals that work here as well as frequent guests of the Centre. We are also gaining understanding of the mission and passions of LMC and the great legacy that has been built here.
Tombstone of the Week - In Highgate where we live there is a famous cemetary where some very interesting people are buried. I'll try to include an example each week. I hope thats not too morbid for any of you. This week: Marx, Karl Heinrich (1818 - 1883) Father of Marxist philosophy
