Last Day in London

Today was our final fully day in London. We board the train to Paris bright and early in the morning, so today was our goodbye to London. We spent a lot the day riding around town and doing some shopping. I will leave London defeated on that note. Everywhere we go around here, the men are dressed in really sharp overcoats. Seeing them all week convinced me that I needed a really sharp overcoat just like theirs. Sparing you details, we wasted a lot of time today not buying overcoats. Oh well, maybe the sell clothes in Paris or something.

We did manage one last bit of sightseeing today with a quick stop at Buckingham Palace. It's famous because the queen lives there, and also because one of the guys in Cool Runnings shows a picture of it to his teammates and says one day he wants to live there and then people make fun of him, but one of his teammates is all like "follow your dreams, mon."

Last night, we kicked around the idea of seeing another show while we were here because we like musicals, and we don't come to London very often. We followed through on that this evening by seeing Les Miserables in the Queen's Theatre. It was great. They had the whole rotating stage thing going, and all of the performers were excellent.

I leave London having had a fantastic week. I'm not too sad about leaving though, as we have kept ourselves plenty busy and we have so much more to which we can look forward on the trip.

There is a lot of good stuff that hasn't made the cut so far on the blog, and I'm planning to get back to it at some point when I have a chance. I'm not sure exactly how I'll arrange that, but I'll figure something out to make sure no good stuff gets left out.



We hope all is well with everyone back home. Is Belle still alive?
