Europe Rocks!

We had a wonderful time in Europe. There are too many details to ever be able to put into words. Maybe I'll do it be area. OK, good enough - first London. We had our first taxi ride. Taxis are expensive. Especially after you double the price because the pound is worth twice as much as the dollar. We were wiped out when we arrived after flying all night. So we slept for awhile and then got up and went into downtown London, saw Piccadily Circus. Ate and got cheap tickets to see Spamalot in London - it's basically the musical version of The Search for the Holy Grail by Monty Python. It was fun. Second day we had a hop on, hop ff bus tour of London, and a boat ride on the Thames. Saw St. Paul's, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and about a million things in between. The next day we got up early and took our second really expensive taxi to a different airport to fly to Paris. So those were the highlights of London, here are some pictures for illustration:
