Pictures from London

What a steal! I found an internet cafe with USB access for 50p for half hour.
So I have pictures for you. I hope you enjoy.
Oh, and I did walk my way out of my boots! I had to buy new ones (an unexpected expence, but I have been saving money all around!)
Today I walked down by the Thames. I walked down the Mall towards Buckingham Palace. It so extravagant and stunning. The guards were there (like they always are) and there were horse carriages going by. I was there early in the morning so it wasn't busy. Getting there was a different matter. I take the Piccadilly line everywhere and early morning it is packed! I pushed nyself on and almost got stuck in the door. Maybe when I am here again, I will sllep in to avoid the morning rush!
So I walked down by Buckingham, through St James Park and by the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. I crossed the river and approached when Big Ben struck 11am. Very cool!

So enjoy the pictures.


Me in the middle of the Mall in front of Buckingham Palace.


Me and my first traditional English meal... it has to be Fish & Chips in Leichester Square at Yate's Bar.



Sasha and Me in Trafalgar Square with the Lion.



Me in Hyde Park in front of Serpentine Lake (it's frozen!).


The Earls's Court YHA in London.

Houses of Parliament and Big Ben to the right.
Love you lots, Lisa
P.S. Mom - take it easy! I love you and I am having a great time! Thanks for the updates.

I love to see that smile!! By the time you get this you'll be off to Cairo - have a great time! Oh and if you decide to call Elaine leave off the 44 at the beginning.
I've decided to postpone the marathon for a while - and taking it slow. Don't worry!
love Mom
