London I

We woke up and headed out to the train station for London!  Apparently it was some sort of holiday and there were no workers in the Paris train station.  Because of the suitcases and stroller we couldn’t go through the normal train ticket station but no one was there to help us go through the handicapped gate.  So Brian and my dad had to lift everything over the gates.  While they were doing that we watched a young man hop over the ticket station and keep on going without paying.  I guess when you put NO workers there on a holiday that will happen.  On our way to London there was some sort of delay and the train stopped for about an hour.  That made it harder with Andrew but Brian survived. 

We checked into the hotel and went to a cute little sandwich shop and ate in the alley next to it.  I loved that about our trip to Europe.  People were always eating outside.  It was refreshing and it was beautiful weather.

Next up we headed to the The London Tower Bridge.

I found the colors that they painted it rather interesting but who am I to judge?

We went into the gift shop for me to try to find a music box.  I wasn’t successful there but we were able to stay out of the quick rain storm.

We stopped and sat on a bench facing the London Eye while I fed Jeffrey.  The older two were zonked out and we all sat and enjoyed the view for awhile.  We also watched lots of runners go by.  Most had a little back pack on and we gathered that they must have gotten off of work and changed into exercise clothes and ran home?  Anyway, very impressed with this country and their importance of health and fitness.  Most restaurants appeared to be relatively healthy as well.
