London

Well, we're back! After over 36 hours of traveling and camping in a London airport (thank you, terrorists!), we made it back to the States early Saturday morning. We were exhausted, but still beaming from our trip!

London. We started our journey here, and had such a great time. We spent five days exploring the big city. We toured all the major monuments, including Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square (where they feed the pigeons in the movies), and numerous beautiful old churches. We took a tour of the Thames River in a speedboat. We ate ice cream in a park. We navigated the Underground system (aka subway). We saw a production of "Stomp" - which uses anything that makes noise, including metal trash cans, broomsticks, cigarette lighters, road signs, and the likes. We rode the London Eye, a huge Ferris-wheel type ride that overlooks the entire city. We shopped ourselves into a shopping coma, as Mike would say. We walked until our feet ached. We got massages at the spa in our hotel.

We ate, we drank, and we laughed. London was awesome.
