Almost home

Hard to believe we only have one more day left in London! It's been a fantastic trip with mom and Katie.  We made it through Christmas Day where next to nothing was open, and a Boxing Day strike where no downtown tube stations were open successfully.  Our only hiccup was a faulty tube ap that said one of our lines would be open, but when we got there, it wasn't.  Ugh.  A 20 pound cab ride later and we made it to our other tube option in time.

London has been pretty incredible.  Everywhere you look is something you've seen on tv, or read about in history class, or in a novel... just crazy! Today we got to go to Harrods, which made Katie's day (my nightmare with so many people being pushy shoppers).  We then took a bus down to Buckingham Palace, and finally got a picture of mom in her Barrister's Wig!  We also got a tour of mom's first trip to London- the infamous poop spot which forced mom to buy new shoes on her first day in London with Cara, the spot where she saw Helen Mirren but froze before they could become besties!  Overall, a great day.  

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! We'll see you all stateside in a couple days.
