Eye See London

The first night I was in London, I went for a little stroll down to Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. So exciting! Especially Big Ben because it's one of those landmarks that I've seen, and seen, and seen on TV, postcards, in books, etc. my whole life. And now I get to see it in person!

Then I went for a ride on the London Eye, a 450-foot-high ferris wheel that gives you an incredible view of the London skyline and the Thames. Bonus: thanks to the heinously long lines, I got to the top of the Eye just as the sun was setting...
