Independence day in London

Happy fourth everyone! Your fireworks haven't even started and we are going to bed. It was a little strange being away where there are no fireworks, bbqs, or neighbors playing patriotic music. However at dinner there were a group of people all in red white and blue with American flags hanging singing the national anthem from their balcony. It was actually a little nice to know others were celebrating. 
We got moving early today and went to the breath taking Westminster Abbey for a service which was really really neat. We could have sat there all day and just looked around and the sounds in there were like something out of a movie (the choir and organs). 
Next we went to the London Eye which is this ferris wheel like thing that takes groups of people up in these windowed capsules for amazing views of the entire city. We met a nice american family on there and sat and talked while watching the views. This family told us that if we think London is busy we will really think Paris is busy, which made us both cringe a bit. 
I have to admit, people are getting harder and harder to be around. There are just SO many different cultures in a place like this, and so many different ideas of what's rude and whats not. For example- pushing in front of people in line- totally not rude here, walking in a row with your friends on the narrow sidewalk and not budging when someone else is coming towards you- not rude at all, and stopping in the middle of a crazy busy sidewalk and collecting your whole group for "peace sign" pictures- completely normal. I feel like I need to sit everyone down and tell them about personal space and manners. Kevin tries to keep me calm, but let's his frustration slip every once in a while. This makes me nervous about what's to come in France. 
We are getting a little wore out, but were able to have a relaxing evening sitting in our room watching our four channels on our 14 inch tv :) We will be ready to rock tomorrow morning and have lots planned for our last day in London!
Ta-ta!
