London--favorite pictures

On the bus tour around the city--we took the Big Bus Company tour. It was great because you got to see all of the sites from atop a famous red bus! You could also jump on and off whenever you wanted so we got to see a lot of London this way!The infamous London Eye... 


The National Gallery which housed beautiful paintings including Rubens, da Vinci, Raphael, Seurat, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Monet and a non-complete Michaelangelo paintings.

Parliament was cool to see from the outside.  It's right next to Westminster Abbey... and when it came time to do the Abbey tour, my mom said she had already seen it enough times so she was just going to wait outside.  Guess what she saw while she was waiting?   Prince Charles and Camilla!  She noticed a little commotion so she went over to Parliament to see what was happening, and lo and behold here come Prince Charles and Camilla 10 feet away from her walking to get into their car!  Camilla was waiving!  She was so bummed because we had taken all of the cameras inside of the Abbey with us, so she doesn't have any shots, but how lucky was she?  SO COOL!
We stayed right next to Marble Arch, about a 10 minute walk.  This is a shot of us on our first day!
Hello! I'd like to make a collect call to the United States please!  Isn't this a cute shot of us?
