London Weekend

This trip was back in January, the weekend before Tyler left for the states. It was our first weekend in London, after being here for over three months. Chris and Gloria (family friends of the Wrights) offered their flat to us for the weekend in the heart of the Soho District. Thank you Chris and Gloria!!!! The Soho District is pretty much the place to be for the never ending entertainment of London. Here is a view from the main room in the flat, great views overlooking London.

What a great little tourist guide.


What's a picture of London without the famous double decker bus?

After watching a football (Americans call is soccer) match in the local pub, we decided we would give the tourist thing a shot, the one and only London Bridge in the background. Check, back to more football accompanied with fine English Ales.
You end up doing a lot of walking in London, since the underground (subway) costs about $4 per block. Although the underground is no doubt a cultural experience you don't want to miss, you don't get to see much of the city, so it all works out.

A night view from the flat, thanks again Chris and Gloria. Although the Soho District is known for never going to sleep, we made it to 11:30pm, barely.......
