Checking In From London

We left for LAX at 4:00 Friday, with plenty of time to park and grab a bite before we boarded the plane for Hethrow. We arrived in London yesterday at about 3:00, and spent the day with Chris and Melissa. We stayed around Parson's Green and went to a couple of local pubs. Today, Jeanine and I got up and went for a nice walk by the Thames. We left the flat around 9:30 and went to Westminster Abbey, Pariament and Big Ben. We went to Covent Garden for lunch to meet Jesse's cousin Paul, his wife Allie and their two year old, Will. We spent time with them, and met up with Chris and Melissa at Spidalfield Market. Jesse's cousins left to take the train back to Ipswich and we went to Kensington to have dinner at Little India, a wonderful Indian restaurant. We walked past Chris and Melissa's old flat and went to their old pub, the Queens Arms. We came back to their flat and are getting ready for our trip to Edinburgh tomorrow morning.

Here we are at LAX, just before we left. This was right after we saw Russell Brand (who was on our plane). I had no idea who he was, and now I do.

The view as we started our descent into London. This plane had a HUGE wingspan.
Dan took this picture of Me, Melissa, Chris, Jesse and Jeanine at Duke on the Green, a pub at Parson's Green. The burgers with fois gras were very tasty!
