Today was a busy day with LOTS of walking. We met our photographer at Trafalgar Square this morning and he stayed with us the entire day. We had a very busy day! After Trafalgar Square we walked to see the changing of the guard. We walked up to Buckingham Palace (which was an absolute ZOO! Check out the pictures to see how many people were there today) and after the changing of the guard we made our way to a bus stop just in time for a massive rainstorm to attack. We rode around on the sightseeing bus for a few hours until finally we were ready to find lunch and walk around. We got off by the Thames and walked along the river where we found some shops and restaurants. After a late lunch we proceeded along the river to the London Eye - WOW, what a great view!!! John D. and Tom did well, despite their fear of heights. After the ride we met up with Paul Tanahill, a UK based AC counselor and we walked across a bridge back to London, walked up to Picadilly Circus and then on to Oxford Circus shopping along the way. Finally, we had dinner at an Italian restaurant and made our way back to the dorms.
It was a busy day and a lot of walking but I wouldn't have changed a thing.
Tomorrow we are off to lunch at the US Embassy then Abbey Road and Camden Market.
Approximately 120 new photos were posted today of the sights so go check them out!
Cheerio!!!
