London

From Paris, we took the Chunnel to London.  Two things memorable about that journey: seeing a lady from Indianapolis excitedly show a Parisian passenger her Hard Rock Cafe Paris teddy bear (cringe), and the kids' giddy excitement crawling into a spacious black London taxi cab.  I think Michael wanted to live in the cab.  Anna liked that she could freely get on her knees and look out the back at the world trundling along behind us.  Every London taxi we took was really nice.  I'd later heard that they are only allowed on the road for 15 years.  Good idea.

Here are a few photos from our trip to London where we saw the sights and caught up with old friends.
