Westminster Abbey, Baker Street, and the British Library

We slept in this morning.  We didn't get out of the apartment until after 10:00 a.m.  We stopped in for breakfast at McDonald's.  Then we went to Westminster.  We were hoping we could go into the Parliament Building, but they told us that tours were only allowed on Saturdays.  We waited for Big Ben to chime, but the noon hour came and went.  I thought it was supposed to be ringing again starting with the New Year, 2022, but it never did ring.  We toured the Westminster Abbey for the next hour or so.  I never knew that so many people were buried or memorialized there.  It was interesting to see so many historical names.  After touring the Abbey we took the Underground to Baker Street.  We went to 221 B for a picture in front of the Sherlock Holmes museum and gift shop.  We decided not to go through the museum.  Instead, we left for the British Library.  We saw their wonderful collection of historical books and documents, including several Codex of early bibles, a first edition Gutenberg Bible, the Magna Carta, notes of Leonardo DaVinci, and many other examples.  We returned to our apartment in the early evening and stayed in the rest of the night.
