We were back in Epsom yesterday and we did not do anything but rest. Today we have all day ahead of us. Verian plan on giving us a Farewell Party. She and her kids will stay home to prepare for the party.

We went to St. Paul Cathedral to attend mass but the last mass for the day was almost finished when we got there. There will be an evensong in two hours so we went downstairs to pay respect to Florence Nightingale. The crypt is close on Sundays. We went to the gift shop and bought some souvenirs. From the cathedral we took a double decker bus to the Tower of London. We took a tour with a Yeoman Warder (beefeater) and discovered its 900-year history as a Royal Palace and fortress, prison and place of execution, mint, arsenal, menagerie and jewel house. The crowns and jewels display were really impressive. We also ride the British Airways London Eye and catched the magnificent 360 degree view of London.

By the time we got back to Epsom, the party has already started.

Verian and I slept around 3AM just talking. WE don't know when we will see each other again.

We had a great time.
