I'm in London!!!



Street Performers. He was so good. He looked so much like a statue. You drop a coin in his cup and he will move. So cool!

Looking a Big Ben from across the river


The Queen just drove by and waved!


Breanne and the pigeons in front of the National Gallery. Men were there with bird seed with pigeons on them, they would grab you and put seed in your hand and on your head and the pigeons would land on you. Then of course they would expect a £1. But it was fun.


Can you read what the sign says?

Hey everyone, I have arrived in London!!! Our flight out of SLC arrived early at JFK and they had a back up so we sat on the tarmac for about 1 1/2 hours. We got off that plane around 5:35-5:40, our connecting flight was supposed to leave at 6:00! They had changed departure gates on us so we were running through the airport from one end of the terminal to the other. As we were running they kept saying over the intercom: this is the final boarding call, and then they said, this is the final, final boarding call and started calling our names. What an adventure right to start out with. We all made it though, luckily and barely. After we arrived at our hotel, we went on a walking tour of London. As we were at Buckingham Palace, they opened the gates and security was blocking everyone. We thought maybe someone important was coming out so we were watching and the Queen rode by. Yep, the Queen of England. Her car was stopped trying to get into traffic and we were all waving at her, and she waved back! What a surprising first day. Pictures will be coming shortly.
