The last two days of our trip were in London, where we stayed with my friend Yuli and her husband Paul. Above is a pic of us with them in their kitchen. It was so nice to finally have a homecooked meal and stay in someone's house after all the hotels and eating out. It was great to be back in London, even though it rained pretty much the whole time we were there. It was wonderful to see Yuli again and for Reuben to meet her. It was also great to show Reuben where I was for almost 5 months! After we settled in a little at Yuli's,we headed downtown. We went to a pub for dinner where we had some good beer and fish & chips (below)! The other picture above is of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and the London Eye.
Below are some of the sites of London from our walk around the city the 2nd day we were there. Right below is the famous Tower Bridge.
Above is the London Eye and the pic next to it is of part of the Westminster Abbey.
The picture above is us walking back to the tube station through the cute suburbs of Southgate from Oak Hill, the school I was at when I was there. We took the tube out there the day we got there and walked out to the school.
Drinking coffee at Caffe Ner0, a chain of coffee shops in London. This is at my favorite one! An added plus was that it was great to have larger coffees than the ones we'd been having in Italy!
We spent our whole 2nd day there walking around the city, some of it in the rain. On the right is Millenium Bridge crossing the Thames River with St. Paul's Cathedral in the background. The next one is of us by Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.
These are pics at Oak Hill, the college I was at when I was in London. The picture of Reuben and I is the view from the back of the college. There is a cool wall that we're sitting on the divides the lawn from the pasture. I used to sit out there and read and reflect. The other pic is of the back of the main building of the college.
Okay, so there's the London post! I promise you will be seeing more of Italy and some of Greece soon!
