Europe: London Edition, Part IV (The Fun!)

Phew! How are you holding up? I told you we did a lot during our ten days in London--and subsequently took a lot of pictures. So far the London posts have been all about the "famous" places we've visited--iconic landmarks, royal palaces, and museums. Now it's time to show you some of the fun we had when we weren't being tourists (which, remarkably, we had time for. Still not sure how.... But we managed).

Perusing all the eclectic shops (and wildly diverse food stands) at the Brick Lane Market
At Her Majesty's Theater for a performance of Phantom of the Opera. Un. Believe. Able. And I know it technically wasn't a dinner theater, but it was definitely professional, so we're using it to cross an item off our "101 in 1001" list
Spending a wonderful afternoon on a riverboat cruise down the Thames River
Darrell's first pint!
Enough said
Standing on the Prime Meridian in Greenwich
More Pints! 

A fun shot of the taps at The Porter House
Wicked cool tree in Hyde Park
I'm convinced London has the most tame fowl in the world. Darrell is hardly using any zoom on this shot. And we literally had a dove land on our table and try to eat our pizza off of it at dinner one night!


I would be absolutely remiss if I didn't put a huge thank you out to the fine people with us in this next photo. Linda and Paul graciously let us crash in their tiny flat for the whole trip (saving us a crazy amount of money), plus took the time to show us around and help us get acquainted with the public transportation even though they were in the middle of finals at LSE. Love you guys!

Sunday Roast at The Prince Bonaparte
 Let's go to Paris next, shall we?
