We're in London and it is HOT! We arrived shortly after noon, dropped off our bags at our hotel, and spent the afternoon...
- eating pasties and nectarines in the park across from Victoria Station
- listening to the passionate speeches and arguments at Speakers' Corner
- wandering through Hyde Park
- watching the roller skaters of mad skill strut their stuff along The Serpentine
- visiting Peter Pan
- cooling off our feet at Princess Diana's Fountain
- sweating in an internet cafe across from Victoria Station
It's almost 9pm and we're still awake, which I consider a success! Stacy is attempting to upload some pictures. Let's hope she's successful.

Sounds like a wonderful day of meanderings :)
So close and yet so far! I want to see my two friends SO BAD!!!! So close and yet so far! :(
Hey! Glad to hear you are having fun! Hope the grumpiness has subsided! Any talk of England and the World Cup? Probably not. Jen, Joel is happy to hear you are in England! I think I will ask him to make Yorkshire pudding, fish n chips, and scones in your honor!
How does one visit Peter Pan?
Why were you eating pasties?!
@Mike -- The grumpiness has subsided, but I'm still often tired. Jet-lag is a killer! I haven't had yorkshire pudding, but we did get some GREAT fish and chips in London and have enjoyed many scones. Mmmmm.
@Kelly -- All it takes is faith and trust and a little bit of pixie dust. (Actually, it's a statue in Hyde Park.)
@Antof9 -- Because there's one of these just around the corner from Victoria Station. YUM!
