London Calling.... Please post

I like London. 

I don't love London. 

It's strange to me too since I love English history, literature, music, people, etc.  But that is my official statement for the city.

Having said that let's go on our tour.

Mr and Mrs Clark in front of the Albert

Mr and Mrs Clark in front the the Tower Bridge.

I like the Tower Bridge.

Our amazing guide and host Michelle.

Love her.

And her man Niall.

They were so good to us while we visited and we had such a good time in their company NOT to mention we ate our best meals in London with them.

Thank you Mitch & Niall! Your oyster cards are sitting on my desk waiting for stamps! To be sent Friday, expect them mid-next week. I know... I am terrible.

We had a little tower time.

And a little Victorian time... This is pretty much as close as Nate gets to that whole era. 

I learned this from experience.

The Orangery

I know... amazingly cute. 

I made a big deal about wanting to have tea at the Orangery (per recommendation from Mitch) 

So we held off on a normal lunch and caroused Hyde Park and all the Victorian charm of Kensington Palace and finally arrived at the Orangery. I was quite taken with the romance of the whole place.

Nate was not unupset that 'tea' wasn't lunch.

Me trying to be English and a tea goer.

Nate, just himself, found the most lunchable item served at tea. 

Mushroom soup.

So he had two bowls

Hello Ben...

Thanks for the boost so I could see the guards.

Love you.

Loved our trip.
