Three days in London

On our way back home, Brooklyn and I had a 3 day stop in London, England! This was a culture shock from Tanzania, but also a treat since neither of us had been there before and visiting Europe is just something we dream about. We were met by Robby and Randy who have been traveling through Europe for the past 5 weeks. It rained a lot and was pretty grey, however, we made the most of it and enjoyed our time there immensely. A big thank you goes out to our tour guides, Robs and Randy! It was so fun to follow you well-worn travelers about! You gave us a great little taste of England.

Just moments before, we saw the Queen's Corgi out getting some fresh air in this courtyard 



no smiles from this guy...

The Chapel we didn't get to enter :( We heard organ music drifting from it, though

This umbrella got a lot of use!



this picture was too sweet to pass by

To say I was happy to see Robby again after a summer apart would be a major understatement!
