1st full day in London

I missed writing yesterday because I had to work the morning shift at the store. I woke up yesterday morning with a horrible sore throat and it didn't get any better all day. So, I came home from work, had dinner and went to bed! I feel better today, the sore throat isn't as bad, but my head feels congested.

So, anyway, our 2nd day in London we took a tour on a double decker bus that looked just like this:



We saw lots of things! Big Ben and parliament:



St. Paul's Cathedral:



The new London Bridge, which isn't really London Bridge, the bridge next to it is and the 1st London bridge is in Arizona, but this is the pretty one:



And then we hopped off at the Tower of London for a tour by a Beefeater:



This is where lots of beheading took place as well as where the crown jewels are kept. This is also where the ravens are, which I am sure you have heard the tale of there has to be so many ravens kept there or the empire will fall.

That night we at dinner at The Spaghetti House, and then on to see Phantom of the Opera. It was pretty good! We were in Her Majesty's Theater to see it, which is an old theater. I enjoyed it very much.

Well, I am off to get ready for work. This is my 3rd day back to work, and it's odd to be back to work after being out of the country for so long.

More about our trip later, and for those of you who want to see all the pictures, you can find them on our website! Enjoy!
