Tourists


Dates and I spent the day touring the city today. We probably walked 10 miles all around and saw so many London sites. We didn't actually take any official tours b/c we figured (hope) we will have plenty of visitors that we can take the tours with, but we scoped it all out so we will know exactly where to go when any of you come to visit and want to see the sights! Sorry for the picture overload...

 Trafalgar Square from our view on the double decker bus-top/front seats of course.
 Duck Tours. International popularity apparently.
 What do you think the chances of Dates taking me to see this one are?? 


 Christmas tree and ice skating at the Somerset House. The skating opens on the 22nd, so you will see more pics of this soon!
 The Royal Court of Justice. A lawyer came in town a couple of weeks ago and took Dates here. They were able to sit in on a murder trial, and he said all of the judges wear those old time white wigs.
 Occupy London
 St. Paul's Cathedral
 Occupy London craziness outside of St. Paul's Cathedral.
 A whole bunch of crazies around here.

 Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
 The London Bridge
 Tower Bridge

 We are too chicken to ask anyone to take our picture.
 Walking across Tower Bridge.

 Tower of London

 More ice skating! This is outside of The Tower of London.

 I somehow convinced Dates to go back to Oxford Street.

The crowds were insane! People are in to their Christmas shopping full force.


Couple of Randoms:
 Nola and my view on our walks in the mornings.
Another of Nols on the train :)
