Sorry about the delay in posting, I just didn't have enough motivation to post yesterday. But now I do. So here's the story of our trip in London. We went on a train to Liverpool Street (not to be confused with the town Liverpool) in London. Then we took a taxi (cool!) to the RAF club (royal air force) where we stayed. After a small lunch of tuna sandwiches (care of my grandmother) Jill, Charlotte, Mom and I walked to the meeting place for our tour. We just so happened to pass the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. How cool is that? While on our tour we saw St. Paul's Cathedral, where the old lady feeds the birds, tuppence a bag, on Mary Poppins. I was bummed though because they were cleaning it and the steps were covered in scaffolding. Then we made our way to the Tower of London. On our way we learned that the clocktower that everyone thinks is big ben is really not named big ben. Big ben is the name of the bell inside. Anyways, we toured the Tower of London. It was great. We saw the crown jewels. I have never seen so many jewels and crowns! It was so extravagant! I don't even want to imagine how much they are worth. So that was fun, and tiring, and the end of our tour. Oh yeah, we went on this lousy boat ride on the river Thames (pronounced "tems"), but it was hardly worth mentioning. The next day in London we went shopping. Gee whiz is that place huge! I got two shirts and a purse, extremely minimal compared to what Jill bought. It was really great. Then that night we went and saw the musical Grease. Talk about funny! The people had British accents and were trying to have American accents. They would always slip, and it was funny watching the guy who played Danny, John Travolta's part, try and have that accent. It was great. The next day we went home on a train and that ended our trip to London. Oh, and we rode on double decker busses and went on the underground and rode in taxis a lot too. I had tons o' fun. ttfn!
