london town


unfortunately i don't have a whole lot of time to write this because i am sitting on my balcony in rome picking up some random internet connection with a low battery on my laptop. however--i wanted to get a few things down before we head to naples...

first i will start with some adventures from london--

amazing.

seriously.

everything was absolutely beautiful.

lynzie and i stayed in a hostel in the "royal burrough of kensington and chelsea". hyde park was just steps outside of our door...we spent our days walking our feet off and sight seeing to the point i thought my head was literally going to explode. we ventured out to the tate modern museum where i was able to see the most magnificent monet i have ever seen. it was so breath taking. i stepped on the london eye- which is a massive beyond massive farris wheel inspired wheel with big enclosed pods instead of seat baskets- and i was blown away with the size of wonderful london town. the buildings of parliment, westminster abbey, big ben, buckingham palace, the list goes on and on. the age of the buildings in incredible and nothing in provo can even come close. it is so hard to comprehend the amount of people that have been there before you and walked on the same cobblestone sidewalks and layed on the same spot of grass.


while in london lynz and i enjoyed the most divine waffle with melted chocolate and ice cream. so so wonderful. especially after walking for the last 4 days straight. buckingham palace was magnifecent and it was so fun the think they have a queen and a royal family- imagine marrying into that! we also spent many countless hours in museum after museum looking at things that i don't even have time to describe. but all wonderful.
oh london.
