Well, this morning we set out to see the London Eye. The queue was about 25 minutes just to buy tickets. I'm not the most patient person about waiting in line, so we embarked on a jaunt around the city. We saw (get ready, get ready) Big Ben....Parliament....look kids...BigBen...Parliament....Look Kids (WE KNOW, BIG BEN)...Parliament. We then walked to Buckingham Palace and got to see a bit of a parade. Those guys in the furry hats REALLY don't smile. This is the second or third day where we've decided that it was warm enough to just layer up and go out without coats. It's also the second or third day where we were completely frozen. We walked from the Palace to Wellington Arch and then to Knightsbridge. We went to Harvey Nichols, then hit had wine at Peter Jones in Sloane Square. The nice thing about being on holiday? Drinking a bottle of wine at 2 in the afternoon while people around you are spending ungodly amounts of money.
After this, we hopped the tube and went to the Greenwich foot tunnel, which goes under the Thames. This led us to Greenwich, which is amazing. The market smells like heaven and the wares are gorgeous. Now, we are heading to dinner at the same charming Italian place where we ate last night.

So have you seen Big Ben yet?
How did you get off of the round-about? Is it really just one continuous left turn?
If you could't go on the London eye, why not try the Lodon ear; or the London lips. Although I think I'd stay away from the London mouth. I've seen what English teeth look like.
Love, Dad
Did you try flashing those guys in the funny hats?
There's a rumor that you saw Big Ben. Is it true?
Sounds like you are having a blast.
As cold as it is, it's actually pretty nice for this time of year.
OY!!!! Two bloody days and no update!!!!
Where are you? Did Big Ben eat you?
Oh, was that innuendo?
Ah yes, Greenwich markets, they are pretty good aren't they.
