Peter wrote about how he would spend his weekends in London without ever having visited. He researched the city using textbooks, newspapers, magazines, and the internet to learn about popular places and transportation options. After making a list of museums, art galleries, attractions, and entertainment venues that interested him, Peter created a plan for visiting Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and Tower Bridge during his hypothetical trip.
