Parents Visit London!

My parents came to visit me in England!

The first day of their visit we took the Tube to Westminster and upon exiting I told them to "look up" for their first view of Big Ben. About half a minute later, it started to ring. We then explored Westminster Abbey fully, and they liked it so much they came back twice for services: one for evensong that same evening to hear the boys' choir, and later that week to hear an organ recital by the head organist.

We also walked to Buckingham Palace, just to say we've been, and visited the first Hard Rock Cafe. In the following days we saw Covent Garden, had AMAZING Indian food, walked through Harrod's, visited Hamley's, bought Paddington Bears for the little ones back home, and took a day trip to Oxford to see Christ Church, AKA Hogwarts.

I had papers to work on and packing to do, so they visited me for a short time in Reading and went about on their own in London while I stayed behind to get my stuff done. The last day Tony flew in and we all walked down Portobello Market on a gorgeous day. It was definitely a successful visit!
