a night out on the town

So I was a bit adventurous and decided to walk all over London. I mean ALL over. I made the loop and saw the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and St. Paul's. I walked so much I think my legs might fall off. I then went and walked along the Thames on the south side and saw London by night, very pretty. I bought Eliza a HEnry VIII bear doll and some Paddington Bear story books.

Then I made a stop at a Chinese Restaurant (way over priced) then a grocery store to buy candy bars for mum (I bought so many a few guys laughed at me in the line--I told them that it was for my mom and they said She won't have any teeth) They were very friendly. Then I came back to the room and I am worn out. I need to go online and buy some kind of minutes for long distance calls.

Tomorrow looks to be a day in the library. Here's some pics.

I'm glad things are going well for you so far. I am a little jealous. I would love to go to Europe. We will take good care of your girls while you are gone. Be safe!
