London at last!


Keely and I finally arrived in London today after a very uncomfortable trip of sleeping upright. We are looking forward to sleeping horizontally this evening :) We spent the whole day in the rain in London trying to avoid getting sleepy. It was cold and wet but we saw the Houses of Parliament, the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. We also saw a crazy lady calling the British government parasites on the street corner. We already got free beer today and we realized that the English people are straight up the friendliest people!!
We are looking forward to tomorrow. We head to Paris at 5 am London time to spend two days in Paris and we are seeing Moulin Rouge tomorrow night!! Stay tuned...our first hostel experience is this evening...

Hi Jamie,
So glad you are having fun. Fender is doing fine, finally sleeping through the night. He has left a few presents in Dave's room. He has stopped looking for you.
Love Mom and Dad
