1. When riding a bus looking for the trains to downtown don't get off when you see a subway sign. Subways in London are just tunnels under busy roads. Look for the Underground sign instead.
2. Carhart jackets can be worn in London with pride...too bad I left mine at home!
3. It's an amazing sight to walk of the Underground station look up and see Big Ben looming over you.
4. All iPods sold in the last 5 years were actually purchased by people in London. Every person on the Underground was listening to one.
5. The exchange rate blows.
6. We pay way to much for our cell phones in the US. For the equivalent of $20 a month they can get 1000 minutes and 1000 text messages. Not to mention the free smart phones they can get!!!
7. Apparently the like soccer here.
8. The people are really friendly and helpful!

Sounds like you are having a great time. The pictures are wonderful!! Love MOM
Brad - do you think we could get Tom on the London Eye? Glad you are enjoying your time and taking in the sights. You had me on the terror level when I saw the title - you can't do that to me. I was on the way out the door this morning and heard something about London on the TV and made Tom rewind it and it was about something in Italy! Hope you are getting good sleep in the King Bed!
:) I think we could...it moves sllllooowwwwlllly! 30 minutes to go all the way around.
They didn't have our room ready so we ended up getting a room with a double and a single. The double is soft so I took the single which wasn't bad. I was tired enough that I could have slept on the floor.
