London



After we said our goodbyes in Danville, we set out for Europe- HURRAY! Our first stop was to visit our friends Greg and Mariah in London. Miraculously, our baggage was accepted (despite being a few pounds overweight) on every flight and made it on time to each destination to which we flew, even to Copenhagen. Perhaps even more miraculously, we were able to get the bags from each airport to our lodging destinations and back again (sometimes with more than a little help from others). We had just been to London a year before and had done most of the touristy things then, so it was nice to get the London perspective from two people who have been living there for over a year and do the locals thing. We went to great local restaurants, watched "football" from a pub, visited great specialty stores and went on a walk in the outskirts of London proper. Besides that, we got spoiled with great home cooked food and good company.
