When we planned our vacation many moons ago we didn't realize we would be arriving in London at the very hour the Queen's Jubilee would be ending. When we exited our train at Waterloo station we were met by a million people trying to get into the station and it was raining. Welcome to England. :D

Monday night we went to see Coldplay in Arsenal's football stadium. They were fantastic. As we entered they gave everyone a wristband. Throughout the show the wristbands lit up. It was pretty spectacular. I would share a photo but my IPhone was stolen in Rome.

Tuesday night we saw Wicked, the story of the wicked witch of the west in Wizard of Oz. Ran into Dave Ramsey in the bathroom. Friday, my mom, aunt and cousin left for home while London and I went to Paris for the weekend. Parisians are not the friendliest folk on the planet, not sure if it's the big city (life's too hectic) routine or a general dislike of English speakers. Probably both.
