Trafalgar square. You can faintly make out Big Ben in the background. It was beautiful today; the fountain had frozen over, the statues were dusted in snow and the entire square was sparkling.
The glass pod we ride around in. It wasn't very crowded today as we only had about 8 people in our pod, but I'm sure a nice summer day is insane and uncomfortable.
The Thames river, with Parliament on the North side and the more industrial end on the south side. The large building on the left is a hospital; not a bad view if you've got a room with a window.
Atop the London Eye, with Parliament in the backgroundOh wait; we have all the time we want. As the saying goes, "If you have tired of London, you have tired of life", and we are definitely finding that to be true. Trevor and I had a blast wandering the city again today; we started with the London Eye, a giant ferris wheel providing amazing 360 degree views of the city. It was a beautiful, sunny day today so the city was literally shimmering as the snow of the last 48 hours reflected the light from the tops of some of the most architecturally beautiful buildings we've seen. After that, we did a bit of shopping along Oxford Street; saw some paintings by Van Gough, Monet, Rubens, Caravaggio, Titian and many more at the London National Gallery in Trafalger Square; and just enjoyed each others company as we continued our exploration. Here are a few pictures from the Eye:

I LOVE THESE PICTURES. The one of Trafalgar Square looks like you could step right into it like in Mary Poppins. Seriously though, my heart hurt when I saw these pictures... I really miss London, I'm so very jealous of you two! Can't wait to read more posts!
