Greetings from LONDON baby!!!!

We have had a full day here in London so I'll try to keep it as short and sweet as possible...basically, the day was filled with all my fav things....biking, delish food, and WICKED!

Laura, Darin, Joe, and I began by purchasing our tickets to WICKED and then heading to our Fat Tire Bike Tour...highlights/sounds/sights:
-Princess Di's former house and memorial
-Cannons shooting off for the Queen's hubby's bday (41 cannons to be exact)
-Location for the Queen's bday celebration on Saturday/sand volleyball for the Olympics 2012/place where 007 was "born"
-Trafalgar Square...the most popular area of London, complete with a big screen for the World Cup on Saturday
-Changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace
-A random pelican...named Willy

We then hit up some gelato and headed home to our hostel to get ready for WICKED!!! Stopped for dinner along the way at Loose Box to eat salmon/linguine/deliciousness and Laura had some chicken/asparagus/pea/salad. And well, then it was WICKED in LONDON= AMAZING, duh. Gave Joe and Darin some culture :)

Stopped for some drinks and here we are.

My fav thing about Europe so far...the great people, and not just those I'm traveling with, but the sweet people we meet along the way...
1. The nice man that cooked our supper one night in Dublin
2. The ladies who worked at a random shop in Blarney and stored our bags for a couple hours
3. Everyone we have met at the airport who have shared the experiences and advice on where to travel/what to see

Tomorrow: More London...we'll keep ya posted :)

Love, hugs, prayers, and all things nice,
Cassandra
