On Jan 14th, we took a Thames River Cruise from Westminster to Greenwich. We then went to the Greenwich Observatory. It was pretty neat seeing all the old time-keepers and stuff. The information at the exhibit went over my head though--I don't know if it was due to being tired or what. I liked seeing the aesthetic style of the old contraptions though. And the old furniture on display, haha.
What was pretty awesome was seeing the Prime Meridian right there on the ground. Emily stayed until the night, and apparantly they shoot out a green laser every night marking the prime meridian. I wish I saw it, but I would have never stayed that long there.
It is interesting to think about how human structure functions at such a rapid pace based on these intangible sytems and patterns we create for ourselves. That goes for things like economy and relgion too.
