London!

Tower Bridge



Big Ben

London Eye



My friend from college, Kirsten, and me at St. Martin's Crypt




In our hotel in Dublin





We apologize for our delayed posting on our trip to London in February! We went to London for six days and Dublin for one. While we were in London, the weather was amazing. It was in the upper 40s all week and barely rained once. We did all the touristy activities like riding on the London Eye, walking by the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, touring the London Tower, and of course eating at all the famous Pubs! On Thursday, Kirsten, Ashley's roommate from College, came to visit us from Leicester, England. After eating in the St Martin's Crypt, we were walking around Trafalgar Square and we saw the queen! Her chaufers drove right by us! We were standing on the curb and she even was on that side of the car. In Dublin, we went to the Guiness Storehouse and then spent some time walking around the streets. After eating dinner at a pub, we went back to the Clontarf Castle Hotel. Its was a real castle that has been transformed into a hotel! Unfortunately, we only got to stay there one night.
