Goodbye to London

Tonight my blog comes to you while sitting on the sidewalk outside of a launder-mat. Kevin has gone to get dinner while I wait to change our clothes into the dryer. We were both overjoyed to find somewhere to wash all of our dirty clothes, especially now that the weather has been so warm! Underwear in the sink just don't seem to fit as well as when they've gone through a dryer :)
Today was great. We took our time leaving this morning and jumped on a train to the British Museum. We aren't much of museum goers but this one is free to get into so we felt like we should go. It was actually really neat! Some of the artifacts they had dated back to 1500bc! 
Afterward we ate another picnic lunch while sitting on a bench, and headed off to a really great outdoor shopping center called Convent Garden. Here we shopped and watched some amazing street theater performers. 
Then off we headed to a park. Parks here and in Dublin are nothing like home. They span for blocks and blocks and everywhere you look there are people sitting or laying on blankets just relaxing. It is something Kev and I have decided to start at home. There are birds everywhere and they all seem to have some kind of water feature or lakes. They have been the perfect place for us to consume our afternoon coffees for the last eight days. Truly enjoyable. 
Speaking of eight days, we are halfway through our trip after today. We are both very sad, and kind of excited. We miss our families, friends, neighbors, cat, DOGS and mostly... Our bed!!!! This trip however is truly amazing and we try not to think too much about the dogs and such because we have worked so hard to get here!
Although we have both enjoyed our time in London, it is not somewhere we feel like we ever need to visit again. It is a little too big city for our blood. So tomorrow on we move to Paris! We don't have wifi in our room there so hopefully we will be able to find a nice little spot to blog from. Ta ta for now!
