England! Finally!

Here I am! In England! It wasn't really a good first impression, with cigarette butts on the ground and stinky cigarette smoke clogging the air. And the apartment we're staying in is really noisy. I woke up at 5:00 2 nights ago to hear birds chirping right out the window. Then I woke up at 8:00 to hear construction outside!


The second impression was pretty good, actually. We went on a double decker bus tour and the kid's pack earphone setting made London's history we drove by interesting!







We stopped by the Big Ben at noon to hear it ring 12 times! Oh, and by the way, I learned a myth that when Big Ben bongs 13 times the stone Lions at Trafalgar square will get up and walk around the square. After that we ate lunch in the Red Lion.






Then we went on a boat tour on Thames (pronounced tems) River. You're not supposed to advertise products on the riverside. We went by the OXO building and they cleverly shaped their windows on the tower of the building as the letters O X O! You shoulda seen it!
Well, I gotta go. We're going to ride the London Eye now. After that, we're going to go to We Will Rock You the musical be Queen and Ben Elton.
"Bye Bye." says Ben
