London Top Ten

1) Ceremony of the Keys ~ Probably the coolest thing about this trip to London was the Ceremony of the Keys, or the nightly locking up of the Tower of London. It is a ceremony that has been preformed every night for the past 700 years. You can go and watch but you have to request tickets 2 months in advance. Check out

2)Tea Time ~ What could be better for a tea drinker than a country that actually sets aside time in the day for drinking tea. Not only that but not just any old tea will do...the variety of teas is amazing...assam, darjeeling, breakfast, earl grey, oolong. And to top it off, you can have tea in a 300 year old tea shop that sells to the Queen.

3) Stonehenge (aka Stonehedge) ~ After racing around the English Countryside in the rain, when we arrived at Stonehenge the rain stopped and instead rainbows were out. Of course part of the fun about Stonehenge was a certain person mispronoucing it.

4) Theatre ~ For only being in London for a little over a week you would like it difficult to see many theatre preformances and concerts....wrong. We went to four shows (Wicked, Spamalot, Avenue Q, and Phantom of the Opera) and two concerts (Christmas Eve Carols and New Years Eve Vienese Music).

ok I got to top four....the rest are comming soon.....
