London - Almost Home

Ok, I've got just over 9 minutes on some way over-priced internet so here we go. Yesterday we cruised all over and checked out the Royal Observatory in Greenwich where the longitude is 0' 0' 00'. We also took the tube to Covent Garden where our hotel is. The place is pretty cool, really simple. Last night we checked out the market area of Covent Garden which is very cool. We also attended church at Holy Trinity Brompton. That was a really awesome and refreshing experience. We looked forever trying to find a Wagamama to eat at, but everything was closed early on Sunday and we couldn't find one anyways. So we ended up at McDonald's.

Today we took a train up to Oxford. It was great to see some of the English countryside you always hear about. We took a bus tour of the city and got to tour Christ Church and the Cathedral. We also checked out this really cool bookstore called Blackwell's. It looks tiny from the front, but is pretty huge inside. We headed back to London and did some shopping in Picadilly Circus. Then, we FINALLY found a Wagamama near there. We just had dinner there a little bit ago and are now back at the hotel.

Tomorrow we head back to California! This has been a great trip, but both of us are now about ready to be home. We have lots of stories to share and can't wait to tell many of you in person.
