London Trip!








My friends and I went into London today to watch the Six Nations game.  However, we never actually got to watch it!  We were too busy sightseeing and being interviewed for French TV!  We had a long night last night because we were up until 5 am.  We got about 4 hours of sleep before getting up to catch the train into London.  We took a taxi from Waterloo Station to a restaurant on the other side of the Thames River called The Little Bay.  My best friend back home, Katlin, sent me an article about a restaurant that was eliminating charging a price for the food.  Instead, the manager was allowing the customers to pick the price of the food they consumed.  Very cool concept!  When we arrived at the restaurant, we were approached by a french woman who asked if she might interview us for a news piece she was doing on the restaurant and its pricing concept.  So, we agreed to take a few humiliating minutes to give her a good story!  After that we went into the restaurant and had started to look over the menu.  Once we ordered our food the camera crew wanted shots of us actually consuming it.  The food, by the way, was OUTSTANDING!  We finally finished our meal and got to pick our price!  Then we walked to Houses of Parliament and did some sightseeing in that area.  We walked just a few short blocks from Houses of Parliament to the Buckingham Palace!  We took loads of pictures and walked through the park.  We then went to watch some guards in front of a house and we met a man who was from the area who gave us the headsup on a great 400 year old pub and shared loads of information about the royal family!

I finally just returned home and thought I would share some of the amazing pictures from today!  I hope you are enjoying looking at them and reading my blog!  I'm trying so very hard to keep you interested!  Enjoy!
