J is the center of the world

Here's my friend J standing astride the 0 meridian in Greenwich. This picture was taken over the hols when J and E were visiting. That's when I got to do some serious tourist things. Getting J to stand here was THE most tourist thing I've done yet!

It was a great day out, though. The Royal Observatory was full of fabulous things - it made me go home and wind up my mantle clock (after J&E left because it rings very loud on the hour) so I could enjoy the ticking and the bonging. Then we went to the Maritime museum (after the obligatory lunch at Trafalgar's pub) which was even cooler than the observatory. Lots and lots of old boats and maritime history - highly recommended.
