London - Day 5

On Tuesday morning, we went to the Imperial War Museum for a few hours.  They had a really impressive World War I exhibit and also had a floor devoted to WWII and another to spying and espionage.  After the museum, we walked back to the Tower of London gift shop so Alex could purchase the chalice he had his eyes on.  Then we went to the Borough Market for lunch - and made another gelato (really sorbet) stop for the boys.  Then we hopped on a train for Wembley Stadium to see England play Belgium.  It was raining pretty hard but fortunately, all the seats were covered.  It was fun to see a soccer game.  London was down 2-1 (they had actually tied it up but a goal was called off) in overage time.  They scored the game tying goal in the very last seconds.  The system for boarding trains went surprisingly well considering there were 80,000+ in the stadium.
