London Bridge is NOT Falling Down...

Ignore all the rumors. 
(and my ridiculously Red hair)

OK so this is the more impressive "Tower Bridge" but its much more interesting to look at than the "London Bridge"

WOW I'm a big slacker... I can't believe I haven't posted at all this month.

I think its safe to say we're feeling more and more settled, and missing home more and more!

We're starting to get more accustomed to the British ways. I catch myself saying things like "mum" or calling potato chips "crisps" and fried "chips." I drink tea most of the time in the mornings, and even tried my hand at Fish N Chips (First meat I've had in over 9 years!!!)  When in Rome (or England...) right?!

Best of all, I can actually UNDERSTAND people now! No more walking away from conversations looking at Nick and going "Do you have any idea what they just said?"

I went exploring in London a few weeks ago and visited the London Bridge area, I wanted to make it out there before the Olympic Rings came down off the Tower Bridge. I walked across the London Bridge but didn't get any photos of the bridge, its actually quite plain.

It was an awesome little neighborhood with loads of walking paths and photo ops like the one above. If London does one thing right its tourism. Compared to places I've been in New York where all the tourist hotspots (Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building etc) are all working buildings that people operate out of, so far the places I've been here have been easy to get to, and not too crowded to stop to enjoy the view and take a few photos. 

The neighborhood is full of little "dungeons" or haunted houses, so I have plans to drag Nick back in October! Nick LOVES haunted houses..... ok not so much but I do! 

This was a sign outside of the WWI Museum which I didn't have time to go into...maybe next time though. 

I have loads more photos to share, I'll make another post with some tomorrow!!!!!  We went to the British Museum and to see Big Ben a few weekends ago and also to another Olympic event... I have us booked for a nighttime cruise of the River Thymes (pronounced Tims) coming up as well so look forward to some amazing pictures then!
