After a ten hour flight to Paris, five hours waiting in the Orly Airport, another hour flight, and a half an hour car ride, we arrived at our home for the next three months. Here is a little taste of what has been going on the first week that we have been here. I am sure things will slow down, now that Jake has started school and is studying all the time, but hopefully we will continue to do a little site seeing. After all, this is a once in a lifetime experience for us!

| This is the street that we live on. A little different than Utah. |

| Sue's home, that she is kind enough to share with us for a while. |

Trafalgar Square
Even in the middle of the night, the sky is never actually dark. Good old light pollution:) |

| St. Paul's Cathedral-This is where Mrs. Poppins fed the birds for tuppence a bag. I hope we can come back here. We didn't have enough time to go inside, and I hear it is spectacular. |

| Self explanitory, but this is The Sherlock Holmes Museum:) |
 |
| This is the Natural History Museum. Totally worth going, even if it is just to see the building. The whole thing was good to see, but the building was amazing. |
 |
| This, my friends, is Kings Cross Station. Another place that we need to go back to. We walked around blindly trying to find Platform 9 3/4, but were unsuccessful. I need to do a bit of research and find out exactly where it is before we go back. |
Lindsey - thanks for doing this. I can live vicariously through you for the next few weeks. I lived in London for six months and never scratched the surface of all the things there are to do. ENJOY!!

This is really nice! Looks like you guys are doing well--but of course, we look forward to you coming back here in a few months! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Thank you for sharing! Ditto to what Dave said about living vicariously through you. I love London, so much to do and see. Although we never saw the Sherlock Holmes museum - we'll have to catch it on our next trip. There is a new Sherlock Holmes series in England you should try to watch. We just finished watching the first three episodes - Ian sent it to us for Christmas.
