London

We have been in London now for three days. We have done LOTS of walking. Like a lot, a lot. I (Mollie) swear that we have been putting in like a solid 15 miles a day, but Amanda and Eric assure me that it is really only about 7 miles. Regardless, its A LOT. But we have seen sooo much. They have the most amazing parks here that are absolutely HUGE!! You really wouldn't believe how large they are unless you were here to see them yourselves. but they are huge and they are really beautiful. Lots of joggers and cyclists that use them. In fact, they even have seperate cycling lanes on the rodes (Mom you'd love it!).

We took another free tour by another engaging tour guide. We think that he might have had a small case of ADD but it actually made the tour even that much more interesting. We were there on the Queen's Birthday. Her second birthday mind you. Her first, real birthday is actually in April, but since it's generally rainy then they also celebrate her birthday again in June. So the area around Buckingham Palace was packed!! So that was interesting to see! We have also stopped at the other royal residences which were amazing. We have also gone to a few different museum's which had lots of art (which we tried to appreciate as much as we could!)--Actually there were some really amazing pieces of art. But we did all decide that we could never be the employees who's job is to simply sit in the rooms and make sure that no one destroys anything--quite a boring job.

We have continued being economical and doing grocery runs....London sure is expensive!!

Tomorrow we will go to the Tower of London and the Churchill Museum. I expect the Tower to be quite interesting and am very excited for it--which I'm sure you will all hear about later!

The next day (Tuesday) we leave for Paris!
