favorites of london...

backwards again....sorry!


7 of us went to see chicago on broadway on our last night in england. it was excellent!

the view from inside the london eye...a huge ferris wheel in london

the tower of london...an old castle where they kept prisoners for years

group picture in the london eye. this is how big each section of the ferris wheel was. you could fit like 20-30 people in each cart.

this is the memorial at the tower of london where henry viii had two of his wives beheaded. crazy!

we watched every part of the changing of the guards ceremony

getting ready for a FULL day of a bus tour...

the first night in london, don took several of us around to look at monuments at night. they were all so much more beautiful at night. this is albert's memorial.

big ben and parliament at night on the thames river

big ben was my favorite thing!

mark in front of westminster abbey

we ate at the texas embassy catina...it represented the embassy that texas had in london when we were our own country! and they had good fajitas! :)

josh in front of buckingham palace. we got to tour the palace because the queen was at her summer home. it was incredible!


the gardens at buckingham palace

josh and i in front of a statue of eros at picadilly circus

london was unbelievable. i hope we get to go back some day!
