It has been another couple of jam-packed days here in London.
London Day 3/4:
-I fell madly in love with the Tower of London. All of the stuff about King Henry VIII, traitors gate, the crown jewels (it looks like somebody went crazy with a bedazzler) and everything was really neat. All the stuff that I had read about in books was right there in front me: incredible. Plus everything is all just so old
-St. Paul's Cathedral was a sight, even if I never actually went inside (Pay $15 to go into a church? No thanks).
-We went on a little walking tour and came upon the church with the steeple that inspired today's modern wedding cake. Funny thing, the church is called "Bride Church" by complete coincidence.
-My sister and I were surprised with tickets to see "Mamma Mia" in Piccadilly Square (which looks strangely like Times Square). It was a great musical, and I got a real kick out of it.
-The next day we headed off to Hampton Court (One of King Henry VIII's palaces) to meet up with some family. Hampton Court was alive with all sorts of people dressed to be the King and Queen. I met this real handsome fellow there..
-Last but not least we got to experience the London Eye which rewarded us with a short line and a great view.
-We went to the grocery store today and discovered all sorts of strange things. Example: hot dogs in a jar, pickled cockles (ew), prawn cocktail flavored chips.
Until Later!
