London is Wicked.

Today was another whirlwind. I will keep in short tonight and recap some of the highlights. We saw the Tower of London and the royal jewels that are housed there. The queen's diamonds put mine to shame. We had a wonderful tour guide who was funny and kept us laughing the whole time with jokes that took a stab at pretty much everyone, French, Italian. Blond, Male and Female. He was a riot.

We went to a pub for lunch and I had the obligatory fish and chips meal with a pint. I did feel a little silly though when we asked for an Amstel Light and the bartender informed us they do not serve anything light. What, a girl's gotta keep her figure...

From there we saw St Paul's Cathedral where Princess Diana and Prince Charles were married and then walked across the Millennium Bridge to the Tate Modern museum. The Tate Modern was really neat. We were able to see several works by Andy Warhol and large installation pieces that took up entire rooms. Some we understood more than others. I guess that's modern art for you though. I'm anxious to see how it stacks up to the Bechtler at home.

Tonight we saw Wicked. It was wonderful. The music was really great. The play is a prequel to the Wizard of Oz story and it really is worth seeing. It is coming to Charlotte soon and I highly recommend getting tickets!

Tomorrow we leave London for Paris again and begin our journey home. I can't believe our trip is almost over. I am looking forward though to sleeping in my own bed again. I will miss the housekeeping service though. John not so much. He has live-in service. I kid because I love.

Cheers!
