Hi, London

Hi Family and Friends!

London, my goodness is remarkable. It's full of people, activities and scarves.

Monday was a bit overwhelming. Knowing we would be waking up in London was exciting and so real. The airport was our last United States site.

The first day (Tuesday) was the busy day. After traveling and getting on our Mercedes van, we got here! A sweet flat in central London, we're beginning to call home...

Despite our RAT in the kitchen, who we so bitterly call Finnegan, we're comfortable and safe. Of course we are hesitant to go into the kitchen because of him. With every entry we always say, "now Finnegan, I'm just getting a sandwich. Please, stay under the sink." Refusing to go into the kitchen and all these walking tours... hello New Years resolution plan.

Like I mentioned, we've been walking, walking, walking. Our first tour was around London. We saw museums and parks... got used to standing right and walking left... as well as see the beauty of London. Walking, I thought, is the best way to get to know the city. With the buses and taxis passing, the heels and cell phones ringing- London is definitely in the walking.

Last night (Thursday), Morgan and I went to a beautiful pub that is owned by Gordon Ramsay- you know Hell's Kitchen head chef... that bossy old bloke.

The pub was called "The Warrington." Trying to fit in, Morgan and I ordered Cider with Fish and Chips. Look left, then right, it was obvious we weren't doing that great of a job fitting in, though, considering our accents and our jeans. You should have seen the people who went to The Warrington- they'd be able to make their pounds rain, if you know what I mean. Here is us at the pub.

Our next two walking tours were today (Friday). They were all about the BEATLES. Even if you're not their biggest fan, you would've become one by the end of the tours. Our hyperactive tour guide's accent detailed the Beatles' influence on the city so perfectly. The bee-uhls (thats "English" for Beatles) have done so much. Of course, my favorite part of the trip was seeing "Abbey Road" that is known for the road the Beatles used as their album cover.

Morgan and I walking on it:

By Abbey Road was, obviously, Abbey Studio. In front of the studio was a fence where you can write your love for the Beatles/ anything you'd like on it.

There, Morgan and I wrote our names & the date...

Next to our marking, my favorite was this one:

It says, "Thanks for the music!"

We're back from a heavy day of walking, now. Morgan's all curled up! The great thing about keeping busy is you forget just how uncomfortable the beds are here because you're just aching for rest!

I'll update you more ASAP :)

Love.
