LONDON: We traveled afar for two great concerts and two amazing cities. Our adventures and laughs were many. Overall London was super busy and oh so beautiful. We felt like we were on a movie set at times and in the middle of mass chaos at others. Transportation was extremely expensive and challenging. We figured out their subway "Tube" system thanks to a hospitable worker named Julie. But to our dismay the tube #1 scared us with the amount of people smashed underground and the delays involved. We rode it once to Covent Garden. We attempted to take it back to our hotel but we both got the heebegeebees and turned around and walked out through what seemed like 100's of people ! We then figured out the bus. And #2 the lines we needed to use on Saturday were closed down for construction. We think due to London preparing for the up coming 2012 Olympics and Lord Mayors Day which is like our Veterans Day. I'm going to list the Top 20 things we saw and did in London and then another Top 20 List of Zurich in honor of celebrating Brenda's 40th Birthday which she celebrated Thursday November 18th! Love ya Bren.

Brenda looking for our bus in front of Harrods.
Harrods was breath taking, opulant, just amazingly beautiful.
London was celebrating Lord Mayors Day. Equivalent to our Vetrans Day. Little did we know what a huge impact it would have on the local traffic due the parade.
Westminster Abbey.
Fish and Chips.
London Chimneys.
Big Ben.
Albert Hall.
