A Foggy Day in London Town

Jonathan told me i'm really hot and cold with this whole blog thing.

It's true.

When life gets busy and fun and exciting and I might actually have something worth while to write about...

I am cold.

Then when I really want something busy and fun and exciting to happen...

I am hot.

So all in all, the ironies of life apply to this here blog as well.


Europe though.

Europe was all the busy, fun, and exciting I ever could have asked for.

We toured, we ate, we posed, we walked, we pretty much did it all. And it was perfect.

We began it a little ol' town called London.

Not little?

Fact. Not little. As evidenced by my worn out boots that I ended up wearing every day due to rainy weather.

But holy cow was it everything I ever wanted it to be.

First I have to mention the place we stayed at. Here is a little panorama to paint the picture for you.


The view

It was unbelievably beautiful. Only fair seeing as everything else we saw was unbelievably beautiful as well.

We weren't in London too long, but certainly long enough to do all of the London musts

Big Ben

Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guards




 Going to Hogwarts

Messing around in those SMELLY phone booths

Soakin up Piccadilly Circus

Bugging the guards

Being the guards

Fish n Chips


St Pauls

Tea and Scones at The Orangery at Kensington Palace




Tower of London

Seeing Anne Boleyn's beheading site. All the more interesting to me after I read the oh so scandalous "The Other Boleyn girl"


Toured with the Beefeater

Westminster Abbey


West End Play

The Tube



It really was a dream of mine to go to London. And I am beyond grateful for the chance I had to get there. 

Thank you London for living up to my dreams!


And then came...

One missed plane to paris. 
One long sleepless night in the train station

And the totally-worth-the-wait arrival in PARIS
