Today, Mat and I visited the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square. During the guided tour of the gallery, we saw paintings from Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Degas, Picasso and Monet. The National Gallery has one of the world's greatest art collections in the world, and we really enjoyed the visit. We also went around Trafalgar Square, which commemorates the Battle of Trafalgar, a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars. It was the pivotal naval battle of the 19th century. The French and Spanish lost 22 ships, while the British lost none. The British commander Nelson died late in the battle, by which time he had ensured his place as Britain's greatest naval hero. The British victory ensured that Napoleon abandon his plans to invade southern England and instead fight in Germany against Britain's allies.

Hey Krystel.
C'est vraiment le "fun" de pouvoir visiter Londres en même temps que toi!! Cela nous donne vraiment le goût d'aller te visiter. Nous avons hâte de te voir au mois de mai.

Trafalgar Square looks so nice! Almost all your photos are grey, though. Is it ever sunny there?
