So this is London...?

Wow and we thought Dublin was crazy!!! This place is all sorts of insanity! 
We got here this morning and checked into our closet, literally, we rearranged furniture just so we could put our backpacks down and walk at the same time. Also we have a shower, but the bathroom is down the hall and there is NO privacy there... This is going to be a little bit of an adjustment for me but Kevin assures me we will be just fine :) 
And so, on we go!! We jumped on a double decker bus and took a tour around the city which was delightful. We sat on top, uncovered in the sun and wind and listened to all kinds of interesting things about the city while taking amazing
pictures. We talked afterward about how it still hasn't really sunk in that we are here and what we just saw was the REAL Big Ben or Westminster or Tower Bridge (aka the London Bridge). And everywhere you turn there is another building that we just have to stop and be in awe for a second. It is the most incredibly beautiful architecture we have ever seen! 
We also went to the Tower of London, a castle from 1090, which was another mind blowing thing to think about and see. And had amazing Pasties for dinner (thanks Ronda) and are now sitting back in our closet eating Haagen-Dazs that Kev just surprised me with!! 
Must go before he eats it all! Lots of love!!
