We're home! Although it was a bit of an ordeal (missed connections, missing luggage, etc.) we made it home and are settled back into our home. We've even found time to get a dog! We figured we should finish up the blog, so here are some pictures from our 4 nights in London.
 |
China Town for the Chinese New Year |
 |
Giant 3 story plant wall in the Anthropologie store |
 |
Tower of London |
 |
Lanthorn Tower in the Tower of London grounds - built 800 years ago! |
 |
These guys are pretty funny. This one's guarding the entrance to the Crown Jewels |
 |
The main display in the Tower of London was the Armor of Kings. These were the actual armor pieces worn by the various Kings of England |
 |
London Bridge |
 |
St Paul's Cathedral |
 |
Big Ben is... big. The exit from the Underground put us right at the base. |
 |
Westminster Abbey - also big. |
 |
Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, no changing of the guard on the day we were there |
 |
Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, along with the largest ship in a bottle I've ever seen |
 |
A side street with a bunch of antique shops. We found some pretty neat stuff there. |
 |
The British Museum, housing all of the things Britain took from other countries during the reign of the British Empire. Really neat stuff in there |
 |
Like the Rosetta Stone |
 |
They built a special room to house all of the statues from the Parthenon |
 |
Giant room of Greek vases, urns, and other things. Some of them were in brand new condition, which was neat to see |
 |
Cuneiform tablets, detailing all kinds of neat things from a very very long time ago. |
And that's the end! Hope you enjoyed following along!
