Today we got up early and did not even wake Devin up! We got up and headed to Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey. Hill loved all the huge buildings.. and I played photographer and took Hill's pictures in front of all the places! Next we went to the Florence Nightingale museum, and it was closed for redevelopment! I had waited until Hill got here to go and now it was closed. After we walked around the Thames River we decided to go do the London Eye. The eye has a height of 443 ft is the largest Ferris wheel in Europe! Devin was going to meet up with us but due to his finals he was not able to make it! So Hill and I got in line and before we got on the ferris wheel we had a free 3D movie to watch! It was very cool. The wheel was so high and could see so much of London, the views were amazing! When we got off the wheel we walked down the Thames and saw some of the street performers and went to a Christmas market! We walked to the Tate modern museum and went inside to warm up and look around. Next we went to Shakespeare's globe, London Bridge, Millennium Bride, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Tower Bridge. Next we went to the tube station to head to Abbey Road! There were not many people taking pictures so we did not have a chance to take a pic together but I got a good one of Hill crossing the crosswalk! After Abbey Road we headed to Oxford Street to see the Christmas Lights! We had such a great day! We saw so much in one day!! By the time we got home our feel were so tired!!
