We planned on getting an early start on the day but didnt end up waking up until about 11. We decided to hit the Tower of London first, which was really cool and the crown jewels were crazy. It took us a couple of hours to get through all of it and by then we were starving so we decided on Wagamama (popular chain noodle bar here, but one just opened in quincy market in boston) It was really good! We are starting to get upset with no free refills on soda!!!!!!! Especially when theyre about 4 USD each. After lunch we headed over the new millenium bridge and went into the Tate Modern which didnt have the slide exhibit elise was hoping for but there was some crazy abstract art there. Some of the paintings were weird and looked like i could have painted them when i was 5 (1 line down the canvas) We saw some Monets and headed to Maddame Tussauds wax museum which was expensive but awesome. Got some pics with the celebs (wish i could post some but the USB thing here isnt workin) The ticket cost 30 pounds but it included a ride on the London Eye (huge ferris wheel over london) which was also really cool. We wanted to goto a pub for dinner but they were very crowded with the after work crowd and many had private events so we settled for a place called 'Little Frankies' American Italian Restauraunt. Whata joke. 'BBQ Chicken Lasagna' thats not even American. They also tried to be american by playing some oldies. But the food wasnt too bad and now we're just hangin at the internet cafe near trafalger square and we'll prolly hit up a pub before we head on back. British Museum and Theater tomorrow followed by Yo! Sushi for dinner!!!!!!
Stay Tuned.
Oh ya, its still raining

matt and elise,
Wow - although you got up late, you flew around town and did alot! It's late afternoon there(10a.m. here),so you probably have already been to the british museum. Loved their pottery collection ( not to be confused with the "fancy porcelains and ceramics". Thanks for reminding me of all the museums there! Did you have any visibility from the EYE?
Enjoy the sushi and have a great time!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the train to Brussels and yes..........chocolate land!
love aj2
hey elise and matt, hope your having fun and we'll have some fun when you get home too because your little bro got a Wii.
don't miss the real David in Frienza, the baptistry bronze doors, leather shops and the home-made ice cream. if you can take another museum, the Uffizi has some good stuff, my favorite, Musical Angel by Rosso Florentino and the Botticellis behind bullet proof glass. watch out for the gypsies in Italy. see you at EarthFest? Ciao, Carole
