Day Four: Recap of London, pictures, and heading to Paris tonight

Katie and I by the River Thames at night
Katie found a cool blue door, mom asked that we have pictures with people in them, so I obliged
This is the courtyard at Westminster Abbey, taken from the cloisters, made me think of Phil Grefrath, he'd love this grass...
The one and only. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) was nowhere in sight, Katie checked.
This is Picadilly Circus, the Times Square of London

Last night was our last night in London, thank the Lord. Katie and I are both excited to get out of the dorm-style european hostels. The place and the people were friendly enough, people there just don't put much priority on sleep.

We head to paris this afternoon, grabbing a train to the airport in a couple hours. We're staying at a real hotel there (thanks gramma rose), so there should be more resting going on than in London.

Today we woke up, checked out, and went to a park. Katie didn't sleep well last night, so she grabbed a nap while I watched a soccer tournament next door, which was being emceed by a radio DJ. Let me tell you, THAT was entertaining.

Recap of London highlights:
Things we loved:
Tower of London
Westminster Abbey
Thames River
The parks
Things that were overrated:
Buckingham Palace

We loved London, we really did. We're excited for Paris though. I've already lost some stuff, but Katie's still talking to me, so that's good too.

Hope you enjoyed the pics. Pray for travel, and that our hotel is sleep-friendly.

Oh, my goodness. I am jealous of you. It looks like you're having an awesome time!

I am upset that there is not a picture of the flyer-passer-outer in the green speedo. That's not something you see every day.

I went to Missouri. It was awesome. Enough said.

Keep livin' the dream. Enjoy Paris, it's one of my favorite places on earth. Good blogging.

Take scores of pictures daily and transfer them to your laptop in chronological order. Keep your wallet in your underpants (gr).
We read your posts daily.
Great picture of Katie and whoever.
