it was july 3 2008

we arrived late last night into london and as soon as michele and i got out of the tube station and up to the streets we were so excited to be there. 

we did a complete tour of london today starting at westminster abbey which was amazing and perfectly timed because the bells chimed while we were there. from there we went to st.james's palace along the river thames and big ben. we went from that area of the city over to buckingham palace which is just as one imagines it; ornate, impressive, elegant and beautiful. st.james park in front of the palace was a great place to stroll and relax. we then ventured up to picaddily circus, but were quickly overwhelmed by the crowds so we headed back to the victoria section of the city where we were staying. we also went down to hyde park which is huge and was lovely, it smelled so good, it was beautiful, everyone was out just enjoying a little sunshine and the green grass and blooming flowers, it was a nice chance for us to relax from all the walking and from taking in everything that we saw. there's is lots more of london to see...
