LONDON!!!!!!!!!!!!



the view from my room

the view from my room
classic red booth
just a bit tired....
When we first arrived there was this rush of excitement. Even though 5 hours of throughly uncomfortable cramped sleep was achieved. The sites were as you have probably assumed ones to see.
We saw Sherlock Holmes that night, in a fabulous movie theater( theater is a bit more real in London because you are actually in a theater type setting, with reserved seating and a waiting area)
Behind us, is the Hyde Park Stake Center!
not right....

I fell in love with Hyde Park. I have read so many books in which they either walk through the park, have a picnic, meet someone there, etc. It must be breath taking in the fall with trees that hundreds of years old, spreading their beautiful weathered branches over the walk ways and the leaves that are more than warm, they are welcoming and inviting in the often gloomy weather. I found this corner of a building, and I think you will agree that it is captivating. Most of the homes and buildings are this beautiful deep red brick. I believe that this particular color can only be achieved by the weather of years.

oh yeah this is real!!
oh yeah!
war offices

Beautiful...
Oh please sir I know your only 300 hundred pounds and you smell, but you can sit on my lap! on the tube!
Buckingham Palace
mom and walker a little afraid of heights?
London Eye!!
My turn!!!
The best dinner all trip!!!!
The big Ben tower, was beautiful, the walls and design take your breath away not because they are this amazing hand crafted work, because you have seen it in all these movies, and your first reaction is wow its actually real! Then came my realization , "oh man.. I am in LONDON!" I was so excited and anything resembling being tired disappeared.
London Bridge is falling down?
The ELEMENT of SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!
( you didn't see anything!)
our ride on the double decker!
The country side, well I must go back. I cant even imagine why anyone could move away from it. Everything is green and the towns are quaint charming and enchanting. Although, I didn't see one grocery store!! I know very american but even people in the countryside need spices....
oxford...


Oxford was fabulous! its amazing that that school has been around for so long. I was so impressed. Even bought my self a jacket!

LONDON! I must admit I had the most wonderful time in england. Although a week is not enough time to fully appreciate everything there is to see.

overall it was the best christmas present ever. I cant thank my parents enough!
