Imperial War Museum

---

Yesterday I visited the Imperial War Museum. This was my highlight of the day by far. The only prolbem I found is it was so large I didn't get a chance to see everything. But I am considering a return visit since there was an exhibit about animals in warfare that tickets were needed to be purchased to attend. Here are a couple of pics in the museum.
