Kara's Here!

Kara Exploring London

Kara got in on Sunday and after a day or so of adjusting to the new time she has been out on the town. Yesterday we were in Wimbledon, Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, and Trafalgar Square. At the Marble Arch, Kara got a kick out of all the pigeons - and all of the bird proofing material all over the arch.

After a busy day of exploring (and some new pictures) we headed for home. While dinner was cooking it started to rain...and then it started to hail. It hailed really hard for about 5 minutes. I snapped a few funny pictures from our apartment window. After dinner it was still sprinkling, but the sun had also come out. We glanced out the window and saw a huge rainbow across the sky. The pictures do not even do it justice, but I hope you enjoy them.

Today we saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, then Big Ben and Parliment. We even went inside the Parliament Building and watched them debate a new bill. I have more pictures from today, but I won't be able to get them up until we get back from Rome on Sunday night.

We're off to bed soon. The taxi will be here at 5am to take us to the airport for our flight. I'm sure after 4 days in Rome I will have a lot of exciting things to write about!
