Today my mom and I started our trip, actually yesterday evening on the 29th and flew into London. We arrived around 730 in the morning, which would be about 2:30 in the morning back in Boston. Mom and I both slept a total of maybe 3 to 4 hours on the plane. So now it's little past 5 o'clock and we are back at the hotel. Unfortunately nothing is going right today we can only get into the city and were able to see St. Paul's Cathedral the trains were mass mom the bag is too big and too having so it's hard for her to carry hopefully she will be able to learn from this lesson not to bring such a big bag on her vacations. Thank goodness a few men offered to carry her bag up and down a couple of stairs on our journey from the airport to the hotel. So here we are at the hotel cleaning up a bit so that we can head back out to see more of the city. Although most likely we will only see the outside of most things since it was fairly late. We did have the pleasure of meeting up with my brother's friend Chris was an old friend of the family. Super sweet guy in all grown up now it's actually great to see him out here. My mom and I walked down to the river things and got tickets to ride on the I later on the I is actually a gigantic Ferris wheel in London which has pods that you can ride in and get beautiful views of the city from any time of the day. It was peaceful to see the city from so far up we went to see Westminster Abbey and it was absolutely beautiful too bad they don't let you take pictures inside. The same thing when we went to visit the St. Paul's Cathedral it does not let you take pictures inside I really wish they would let more people take photos without flashes so that I could share this opportunity with people who will never actually be able to make it here. At St. Paul's I did climb all the stairs all the way to the top there something like 295 of them from the floor. London is absolutely beautiful at night and I can't wait to share my pictures with you. I'm off to bed 5 AM comes off as soon.
