Well we got into London about 7:00am London time, had a pretty uneventful flight with nothing but crappy movies. We couldn't check into our hotel right away so they stored our bags and we left for Westminster Abbey. After we toured the abbey we headed for Buckingham palace and were lucky enough to catch some of the Changing of the guard ceremony even tho we couldn't see much since there were so many people. We snapped a few photos of the beefeaters and were on our way. Walked on over to Trafalgar square and watched people get attacked by the millions of pigeons. By that time we were exhausted from not really having slept and with all the jetlag so we checked into our hotel. Went up the death trap of a 'lift' and entered our room which is the size of a queen bed. It was spotless tho so we were happy. We decided to nap for a couple of hours and then head out for dinner. We are now in an internet cafe near kings cross (elise got her photo with Platform 9 3/4 from harry potter) and will probably head to a pub before an early sleep since we're tired.
It has been off and on raining all day and looks like it will be the same the next few days, London has weather like Seattle.
Couldnt upload any pictures right now since the cord is at the hotel but hopefully next time!
Either windsor castle tomorrow or more of Londons Sights
Stay Tuned.

What would London be like without rain? Glad you have your "slicker". Hope it's clear tomorrow for hte London Eye! Don;t expect rooms anywhere musc larger than a postage stamp or a lift to fit 2 plus luggage!
