London!

Laura and I have made it to London! We left Cambridge today about 1pm, and took the train into the heart of London, where we then got on the Tube to the airport, which is where our hotel is located. We were much more proficient at navigating the train and tube stations with our luggage, but it is exhausting. Laura and I both brought WAY too much stuff, thinking we would need more for the entire trip. It turns out that we needed only half of what each of us brought. Oh well. Lessons learned for next time!

We will be here for the remainder of the trip, and we are planning on seeing all of the sights while we are here. Tonight, after checking into the hotel, we headed into London to have a nice dinner, which was marvelous!

Tomorrow, we are planning on touring again--the hop on/off style that we've grown to like so much. There is a deal where if you buy a ticket it is good for five different tours and for up to two days. Since we are leaving Friday at noon, we will get to use the tickets all day tomorrow and Thursday. Yahoo!

So far, what we have seen of London at night is amazing. Our dinner tonight was in the theater district, which is so full of culture, restaurants and shops. Tomorrow there will be lots of opportunities for pictures, so there will definitely be some posted tomorrow.

For today's postings, I thought I would share with you some of the cool and amusing signs I keep finding all around the United Kingdom. Pay special attention to the scrumptious meal advertised in the third picture. Yum!
