Hello everyone. We hope all is well back in the U.S. Today is May 23rd and within the past 2 1/2 days we've done quite a bit. On Wednesday our we landed in London at around 8 o'clockish and got a little lost finding our way to the hotel but eventually we were successful. We didn't do much on Wednesday do to the hour we got in. The next day we woke up early and started our journey through London. We started out walking through Hyde Park than found our way to Buckingham Palace and watched the "changing of the guards." Afterwards we walked over to Westminster and went inside the Parliament building and sat in on a session. Than we went to Westminster Abbey which was really awesome. We saw the tombs of many past kings and queens of England. Then we walked over to the British Museum where we saw the Rosetta Stone and alot of other cool artifacts. We did alot of walking that day. Today we did more walking. We went to the Tate Modern Museum where there is a huge gallery of modern art. Then we went to go to the Globe theatre but we got there a few minutes too late to take the tour. Same with the Tower of London. Maybe we will be able to get to them on the way back. We also walked over Tower Bridge today, it was a cool site to see. So tonight is the first night in a hostel, its all right, a little bit smelly. Tomorrow we are going to take a early train to Salisbury to see Stonehenge and most likely we will end up camping in the rain :( Hopefully it wont rain though. Then we are off to Portsmouth where we will take the ferry to Caen, France. Well hopefully we will get to post again soon. Leave us some comments.
Love, Melissa and Orry

Hi Melid and Orry:
We tried to call you this morning Allie really wanted to talk to you.
Little Buddy had his birthday yesterday and he got a dump truck and other junk he likes.
Sounds like you guys are keeping busy and enjoying things.
Always stay alert with your surroundings and stay safe
Love, Daddy
Hey guys!
I can't believe I just missed you! I just got into London yesterday and crashed, had some Ethiopian food with Ben and his friends, then slept some more, and today I walked around some of the place you mentioned- Globe theatre, Tate Modern, there was some x games thing going on... London seems really cool so far, I'm sorry you are leaving today!
Keep having fun in Europe and I'll see you when you get home!
Love,
Rachel
