London










Yes, we had a blast. We did it all--we saw Westminster Abbey (loved the Poet's Corner), St. Paul's Cathedral (soo impressive inside), WICKED, Tower of London, British Musuem (my favorites were the Rosetta Stone and Parthenon stuff), British Library (Magna Carta, Guttenburg Bible, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre, etc.), Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, etc.
We wish we could have seen more plays since there are so many good ones playing. The Underground Tube can be quite a mess, but you really feel like you are in a tube. And since London is sooo expensive, we stayed in some somewhat cheap but totally sketchy places. What an adventure. We got to ride inside a bus inside a train inside the chunnel in our excursion to and from London (I have pictures to prove it). On the way there about two hours before we got to London the little boy in the seats across from us pooped his pants--it stunk so bad. But other than that, we LOVED it. We plan on spending a lot more time in the UK one day.

LOVE London! We did all of that stuff spread out in 10 days when we went though, you guys are expert travelers.

Haha funny about the little boy :)And my apartment is already decorated since it came furnished... but when we move into a new one it will be all our stuff, which I am so excited for.
