In Londinium (London)

We are in London, resting and waiting to go have dinner before we catch the play "Les Miserables." We are in the West End currently. We've kept ourselves busy, as per our usual mode of business.

Yesterday, we arrived in London and after dropping off our bags at the hotel, we caught the Underground over to the Westminster Abbey. We also made a quick trip through the Houses of Parliament. Then, realizing we had a bit of extra time, we hopped on the London Eye and got a great view of all (ha, all ... yeah right) of London.

After checking into our hotel, we went to the Arsenal game. It was packed! We immediately bought shirts, put them on and started our experience. FYI, Arsenal won 4-0, so we got treated to plenty of awesome cheers. Hopefully I will have a video up of it soon.

Today we went to St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and the Tate Modern art museum. And then of course we have the play we are going to.

Tomorrow we plan on going to the British Library and British Museum, both free! Then later on we are hanging out with my friend Elinor, who I met in Spain when I was there two years ago.

And for your viewing enjoyment, some pictures!

Me on the London Eye. That shirt is comfy!
