Buckingham Palace

Ok, we have like 300 or so pics so far, but I only have time for a one.

You have to double click on it to see it, and it’s still huge so you might have to scroll around.

Walks, Buses, Trains, Boats…

After that first entry, we went into the area with alot of historic stuff. We got double decker bus tickets and the first time, we sat on the top level in the open. We were at about the height of a traffic light. I sat there and took pics which I have yet to post. It was alot of fun.After that we got off and went to the National Gallery. They have Monet, Picasso (I think, well it was the guy who painted Starry Night), and alot more.

The next day we went to the bus place and took a walking tour to the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, then we got to see Buckingham Palace and the Queen was home! We then saw where Prince Harry (or someone like that) lives. After that, we went to a boat tour. Finally, we went to have tea.

Today, we are going to the London Zoo. Hopefully, I’ll get to go to the Starbucks soon to post pics. Email me!

We’re Here!

Ok, so we didn’t just get here but this is the first time I could post… I’ll try to be on more often…

Anyway, the plane ride was nice and we were right behind firstclass. I fell asleep there then we got off and walked around the city for a few hours trying to find the apartment. Needless to say, I fell asleep on the couch when we got there. We have gone to the British Museum, the Science Museum, the Natrual History Museum, and today a city busride. Its cold, but that doesn’t really matter. Our main transportation is the Tube (subway) and foot. We haven’t been in a cab yet. I’ll post pics as soon as possible. We are 4 hours ahead of you, so it was a hard adjustment. It’s 12 now, 8 for you.

EMAIL me you addresses, we have som postcards. Don’t post them on the blog!

Oh yeah… One other thing – there are a bunch of smart cars! We have seen the kind Lizzy has, 2 door, but we’ve also seen 4 door and a sportscar version!

They use puonds here, which is 2x as much as the dollar (I’d hope you know the use pounds!).

I’ll post pics asap, but this computer is SUPER slow and it’s a public computer. There is a Starbucks with wireless, so I’ll post there if I can. Please email me!

Almost gone…
