Hi we made it into London last night. What a cool city. Everything looks new and bright. And clean! It puts Paris to shame in many ways. We did only a brief tour last night as we were all quite tired. Our hotel is right around the corner from both the train station and Buckingham Palace, so we walked around both until the sun went down. We also walked along a couple of the many parks within the city. Today (which started an hour earlier than expected thanks to our alarm clock) we are going to see a session of Parliament and tour the Westminster area. Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the like. In the evening we have tickets to see the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, which is supposed to be very cool. We”ll let everyone know how it goes. As for the hotel, it is VERY small, but nice enough and close to everything in the city. It”s been great to use the English language again, and the culture here is so much closer to our own that Sara and I have been feeling teased about going home next week. We even found a certain restaurant to have a quick lunch at. We”ll write more tonight as our hotel has free internet access. Only a week and a day left until we leave Europe and head home!
