Seeing London!


I finally got to see London today! My amazing new friends Caroline and Cassie gave me the tour of their beautiful city.  I told them I wanted to do all the cliché touristy things, especially the red phone booth picture (how could you go to London and not?).

Here are some highlights:

Buckingham Palace

They didn’t have the changing of the guards today, but that’s ok because we went to the Horse Guards Parade instead.


Then we had to bother a guard.


We went to Westminster Abbey. The architecture is incredible.



The London Eye is marvelous. I think I’ll need to ride it eventually.


Trafalgar Square hosts the lion I got to ride on. It’s actually quite a feat to mount it! 
 
I think I’m funny.

M&M World in Leicester was good fun. 




After a trip to Camden Market, it was time to go home.



However, there was still one more thing to do.


Then we went home. But that’s ok, because I have this killer view of Wembley Stadium Arch from the park by my dorm.


Until further adventures, I send my love!
