Pictures!

dear erik,

apparently, my body-clock hasn't quite worked things out yet.  it's almost 6am, but i've been awake since about 4 and just can't get back to sleep.  normally ten hours would seem like plenty, but i'm a little worried about missing a whole night.  that's gotta be not-so-good for you, right? 

i am going to attempt to load some pictures.  think happy thoughts.

this is megan and i upon our arrival at the hotel.  europe here we are!  the geisha lady is on the wall next to megan's bed.

this is the geisha lady next to my bed.  we got a 'studio'.  'cos we're fancy.

this is what you see when you walk out the front of the hotel.  look kids - big ben!  parliment!

 this is queen boudicea (sp?) and her daughters.  she was a warrior queen who led her people against the romans.  i know, 'cos i saw a tv movie about it.

the london eye and the aquarium.  i was very pleased we got a suitably 'british' day for our first walk.

missing mom in the gift shop of the national theater.

strange foliage by the thames.

we couldn't tell if this guy was helping his friend up, or was kicking him in the face.  "this is MY roof!  don't come up!"

all right.  i'm off to do some research about what fabulous, touristy things we can do today!  i'm also kind of excited about breakfast in a few hours...
