Greenwich Library

GREENWICH LIBRARY
This library contains books, manuscripts, and e-resources pertaining to navigation, geography, astronomy, family history, and piracy. The librarians showed us a collection of their rare books and manuscripts.
MERIDIAN LINE
We waited in a long line to stand and take (make) a picture standing on the meridian line which is the line that divides the eastern hemisphere from the western hemisphere. It was really cool to have one foot in each, but it really didn't feel any different than standing anywhere else.
WESTMINSTER AND PARLIAMENT
We took a walking tour of Westminster and Parliament. Parliament was in session, and we actually got to sit in and observe the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
