Off to Hogwarts!Bob and Josh outside the "Treasures" room at the British Library

Today we went to Hogwarts via the 9 ¾ platform at the Kings Cross Station in London. It was magical! After our quick trip to Harry Potter land, we went to the British Library where we saw their literary treasures: a Gutenberg Bible, the Magna Carta, the original Alice and Wonderland and several other original works by British authors. They had an early religious text from every major world religion on display---except the truth! I found myself thinking they’re missing the most important book of all---the Book of Mormon! After a quick pizza lunch, we went to the National Portrait Gallery which was a bit of a disappointment. Later that night we rode the London Eye, the largest Ferris Wheel in the world. The views were amazing!
