London

Yesterday was day one, maybe, maybe day 2 with the time difference, I can't figure it out. On the 6 hour flight to London, I slept an hour and listened to music with my eyes closed for the rest of the time. But I wasn't tired when I landed... just excited. But even when I got out of the airport (which took over an hour because the passport line was so long,) exchanged 20 dollars for about half as many pounds, and took the underground to King's Cross, it still felt like I was in America because most people were speaking English, but there were plenty of foreigners, which I am used to from living in Miami. 

In London I walked around and looked at things,  ate lunch at a nice cafe in the park, visited one of the greatest museums in the world (so I'm told) where I was very excited to see the Rosetta Stone... which I'm thinking was a replica because everyone was allowed to touch it. And I took the token "Making a call in a red phone booth" photo. At night I visited the Tower of London and a nearby castle.

I don't think I could have stayed for more than a day though, because on this particular day the trees decided to release all of their pollen, which was large and yellow and each piece had a claw on the end, and even with sunglasses on and a scarf over my mouth, I choked on quite a few pieces and had to stop to get debris out of my eyes at least 10 times. 

Here is a link to see the rest of the pictures I took:
