Today's trip to London was spectacular. There really is nothing in the world like London. It is a beautiful mix of modern and historical architecture It is surreal to see the sights I have seen so many times on TV in person and pictures can not live up to the real thing. Today we only walked around and got acquainted with the city, there will definitely be many more trips to come! But to give you a peek here are some pictures!
