For my adventure I traveled to London, England a country on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. I went to stay with Cooper's Auntie Jenn and Uncle Marc who live in London. My adventure started when Auntie Jenn let me out of my envelope and I told her about my adventure. "London is a great place to have an adventure," she said, "because there are so many things to see and do." I was so excited! 
One of the first things I saw was people driving on the left side of the road. So I had to be very careful when crossing the street. In England, crosswalks are called zebra crossings because they have black and white stripes like zebras. And crossing guards are called lollipop ladies because their signs look like giant lollipops! Here I am in a zebra crossing with Auntie Jenn.
In England, people drive on the left hand side of the road. English cars have their steering wheels on the right side of the car! Here I am driving an English car (don't worry, I didn't speed).
The President is the leader in the United States and anyone born in the United States can become President. But the leader in England is a King or Queen. The King or Queen has to be related to the first King of England from more than 1100 year ago! Here I am with a picture of the current Queen of England. Her name is Elizabeth.
Queen Elizabeth has a house in London. It is called Buckingham Palace. Here I am with Uncle Marc in front of Buckingham palace. It was really big and had guards who stand out front all day protecting the Queen.
The Queen also has a another house in London called Westminster Palace. She does not live this house because she lets Parliament use it. Parliament is the group of people who write all the laws in England, kind of like Congress in the U.S.. Westminster Palace is most famous for its clock tower. Inside of the tower is a very large, very loud bell named Big Ben. I can not see the bell from here, but I can hear it. It is very loud!
London is very famous for its red double-decker buses, red telephone boxes, and red post boxes. This is the outside of a bus. 
Here I am looking out the front window of a double-decker bus. Wow! I can see a lot from up here.
Here I am calling home on the phone inside a telephone box. We would call it a phone booth in the United States.
And here I am with a post box. In the United States, it would be blue and we would call it a mailbox.
Dragons guard the borders of the city of London. The Fleet Street dragon let us take this picture. I think Auntie Jenn was a little scared. 
This bridge crosses the big river that runs right through London. The river is called the River Thames. People call this bridge the Wobbly Bridge because it used to shake when it got windy. But they fixed it and it does not wobble any more. The dome at the end of the bridge is from the top of Saint Paul's Cathedral a very old church built in the 1600's.
About 400 years ago, a guy called Shakespeare lived here in London. He wrote many plays and poems and people liked them so much they still go to see them today. This is a picture of me outside the Globe theater, it is a copy of the theater where Shakespeare wrote and performed his plays. The Globe is round outside and inside but there is no roof over the middle of the circle, so if it rains during a play, the audience gets rained on!
Next to the bus, people in London like to ride the subway, except here they call it the Underground or Tube for short. I think they call it the Tube because all the tunnels are round like this one. Here I am with Uncle Marc waiting for the tube to take us to our next stop.
Here I am at the world famous British Museum. It is also in London.
I made friends with the lion outside the museum.
Inside the museum, this statue kept asking me for gum.
But it was OK because I took a bath in this ancient cauldron. I loved my London adventure!If you know someone with a computer, you can look at my London adventure on the Internet at flatcooper.blogspot.com
