London!!

Two weekends ago we went to London to meet up with our friends Sam and Eric to watch the Patriots play at Wembley stadium and also explore the city. London struck us as being very similar to Boston (which makes a lot of sense given the history), it is very lively, pretty, and a tad chilly :) We had a great time exploring the city and it was only 1 hour away by plane, how easy! We will certainly be back to explore more sometime over the next few years. Here are some photo highlights from the trip:

London bridge from our hotel room (the hotel upgraded us after the hotel room on the first night didn't have any hot water in the shower and we had to shower in a strangers room!)

Changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace

Turkish candies at the Borough market - a huge outdoor market with lots of food and treats to sample and buy

Every seat had a colored bag on the seat that people raised in the air during the national anthem - it created a British flag on the left and an American flag on the right
