London

We arrived in London Monday around noon exhausted from our flight (no sleep on "cheap bucket seats" airline!). We decided that the best thing to do in our state of sleeplessness would be to take a bus-tour of the city on a double decker bus, so we did that and took in most of the main sites of the city, such as Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St.Paul's, Tower Bridge, etc. Well, I should say that I (Nick) took in the sites while Isabelle's head bobbed in semi-conciousness for part of the tour (she's gonna kill me). Our night ended at 7pm with lights out in our hotel and we slept for a solid 11 hours. The next day Isabelle went to the Tower of London (Crown Jewels, etc.) while I went searching for hookers.....no just kidding, I had a meeting with my employer, a teaching agency here in LOndon whom I will be getting work through in the new year. Yesterday was a fun day which saw us taking the tube all over the city to Soho, South Bank, Notting HIll, Portobello Market (damned thing was closed), Camden Market: Home of every freak and weirdo in London (but soooo cool!), and finally ending the night with a chicken dinner with our host through GlobalFreeloaders, Mark who lives in north London.
Now we are going to meet my brother Shawn and tomorrow we're off to Latvia!!! The 1st picture shows Big Ben and the second is from the Tower Bridge.
