Hey everyone!
The last couple days have been nothing short of spectacular. London has had beautiful weather and the rhythm of the city has been amazing.
Yesterday, we went to see the Tower of London. I've been there a couple times, but our dear Elizabeth wanted to see the Crown Jewels so off we went.
After that, we went to Hyde Park to see the Peter Pan statue. Some of you may know that this is my favorite spot in the whole world. For those of you that wonder why, here is my response.
Each and every time I gaze into the hopeful eyes of Peter Pan, I am transported back to an earlier time. The youthful innocence that gazes back to me speaks to my very soul. A question I always ask myself is simple: do I wish I had never grown up? Perhaps. However, life must continue to tick on by. Each person must get older and experience new adventures that adulthood brings. For those that are lucky, that means life, love, and the chance to watch your children and grandchildren grow. Now, that is truly something that childhood cannot bring. Without the opportunity to grow and learn, one becomes stagnant and unfulfilled. And for me, that's just heartbreak.
Afterwards, we went to Notting Hill for some shopping and then on to Knightsbridge for some other necessary purchases. Liz described Harrods as excessive opulence, but truly fabulous. It is more than just the experience.
Later that evening, we went out for a night on the town in Leiscester Square.
Day 3
Today, we ran around the entire city. We started at the Tate Modern and the Globe and then made our way to Kensington for afternoon tea. Tea will now be a part of my daily regiment in London. Liz then dragged me to the British museum. She kept inquiring as to why Britain houses part of the Acropolis, which is a truly fantastic question. Perhaps the Greeks have something to say about that.
Tomorrow, we leave this beautiful city to travel to Paris. Life truly couldn't be any better.
