London part one

I know! I Know. I haven't posted in a LONG time...sorry all of you who have been waiting patiently :) So much has been going on. So anyway. We went to London and had a phenomenal time there. It was absolutely stunning and I would love to go back and spend more time there. But I think my sister is planning on going to Hawaii next summer and we are supposed to be going...so...well anyways. I took a TON of pictures and have been trying to choose the best ones to post. Here are a few from our first day.

This was a very typical sight there. Very many houses had this kind of detail.
On our bus ride to the hotel we saw a little boy on his way to school. He was SOO adorable!

This was a Methodist church that was right next to our hotel. It was absolutely stunning.
Everything was Super detailed...including the sidewalk!
There were flowers everywhere! These were outside of the mall. It reminded me of My Fair Lady :)
Here is the pub we ate lunch at. So gorgeous.
This was our Tour Director. Her name was Sharon and she is from an island in the Caribbean.
More flowers. They loves to put them on balconies and window boxes. It was really charming.
As we were walking to the restaurant for dinner, we came across a random lighted wall. Very peculiar, and cool for pics. This is my student Mary Kate and some girls from California.

This is Danielle (a parent) as we were walking to Trafalgar Square. She has a famous double decker bus behind her.
I thought this was cool. It was a restaurant with a random bathtub out front and yes it had water in it.
We got to see Rudyard Kipling's house on our way to Trafalgar Square.

This was a pretty popular chain restaurant. I liked the name.

The next three pictures were taken at Trafalgar square. Although I have many more I am going to put those in another post with more detail about them. The first one is George Washington, second is Big Ben (from a distance) and the third is a couple of random British guys hanging out in the square. lol
