So Ho!









London: We've seen the British Museum, National Gallery, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, London Eye Ferris Wheel, Tate Modern, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, we did the hop-on, hop-off double-decker bus tour, Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square, where we got tix for Fame. Yes, the Fame! I'm gonna live forever one.

We stayed near Earl's Court and to activate the air conditioning and electricity in the room, you had to stick your large plastic room key into a slot on the wall and was only activated when you were in the room. If you left and took your key with you, so went your air conditioning. This did not help the night I got food poisoning.

Welp, London is fun. It's big and busy and we've had to figure out the Metro and lines will close without warning, but it's great! I've had to get Christian to stop talking 'British'. He thinks it's funny. We also saw someone get kicked off the Metro today for sticking his foot out in front of the train while it was coming toward us. They called him out over the loud speaker with crackling British accent, even down to what he was wearing and told everyone that we'd delay and just sit there until he got off. I actually got his picture. It's hilarious. After minutes of waiting for him to get his off the tube, he got escorted off. Anyway, since then, we keep saying, "Mind the Gap!" Which is what they say so you won't fall into the deep pits of subway hell and die. It's a service they provide, really.

We're just winding down and in disbelief that tomorrow we're on a plane back home and it's all over. We're out of money anyway, especially here in London, so I guess it's a good time to get back home.. We're tired and our packs are so full I couldn't hike another mile if you made me.

We love you all and still ask for your prayers for our safe return home tomorrow,
Milton & Christian
