My friend Adam came to visit me this weekend in London. We go to school together back at WNEC and he is now studying abroad in Ireland. It was great to get to see him and take him around the city. First I took him over to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen. We walked around and viewed the palace as well as parts of Green Park. Then we went off to the Guard Museum and looked at all sorts of uniforms. We then walked to Westminster Abbey walking around the outside and viewing Parliament and Big Ben. We walked across the bridge over the Thames past the Dali exhibit and under The Eye. We walked past a bunch of street performers including Charlie Chaplin and a guy that looked the most like a statue that Iīve ever seen. We made our way to The Globe Theater then over to a restaurant for some fish and chips. We then went into The Clink Museum near where the original Clink existed. We took some funny pictures in there. We passed an old ship and Southwark Cathedral. We went out that night to one of the oldest pubs in London, The Cheshire Cheese, on Fleet Street, yes just like in Sweeny Todd. We then called it a night.
The next day Adam and I headed off to The Tower of London. I showed him the Roman Wall and we walked around the Tower to Tower Bridge. We climbed inside Tower Bridge and I took some beautiful pictures of the city. After Tower Bridge we headed back to the dorm to rest. We went out that night but came back early cause thereīs not much to do on a Sunday and we both had to get up early. I was wonderful to get to see him and I canīt wait to see my parents next weekend! Paris is so soon and Iīm so excited to go!
Love to my friends and family <3

Hey Di -
You brought Adam to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen? Did you actually see her?? :-)
Love the pictures from The Clink!
I think you should consider an additional career as a European tour guide! Enjoy your visit with your M&D. I look forward to hearing about Paris.

boy you guys really got around that weekend! It sounds like did it all! I love the pics. Please tell me that was a mini guard station that you got in and the guards there aren't that tiny :). Did you stomp on his foot? I'm thinking if he IS that tiny then STOMP AWAY SISTA!

It was one for children. Though it would be histereical if they really were that small!
Sweeney Todd
So, I went to Bermuda this weekend with my parents and we saw your parents on Logan Express on the way to the airport and we what I think was their plane when we were taxiing to down the runway. Just thought that was funny. And when we were in Bermuda, we saw a barber shop called 'Sweeney Todd's'.
It sounds like you're having a blast in London. I can't wait to see how you liked Paris! I wish I could have come visit, and I miss you and am glad you're having fun! Love you!
