Love, love London.

Woke up in London yesterday...well for the past week, actually! Tomorrow will mean that we have officially been in London for one week. It definitely doesn't feel like we've been here that long, but we've done and seen SO much!
I'll never get tired of seeing this. The Houses of Parliament and the Great Clock are beautiful. 
Hanging out in front of the Somerset House. This summer, they're having an outdoor movie festival here that we're planning to attend at least once.
This picture pretty much sums Tiff and I up; it's hard to keep us from talking long enough to take a picture. This day, we made it out to Abbey Road - gotta love The Beatles!
This was the 4th of July...we dressed festively :)
Love this.
Texas Embassy! Such a neat place over near Trafalgar Square. It's nice to have a little bit of Texas in our home away from home. We colored dollar bills in true TCU style to hang up over the bar.
 
Walking 10 or more miles a day is nothing over here...but sometimes we get tired, so we sit down wherever we are to take breaks (and possibly to "borrow" wifi...)
City cruise down the River Thames to Greenwich was a lot of fun, except Tiffany got cold. I laughed at her bundled up in her scarf (right before I took this picture, she had it over her face like a robber, silly girl).
 Our first London rain! Definitely didn't mind though. It's pretty and actually not all that bad. Unlike in Texas (where storms terrify me), this is pretty mild.
 Harry Potter Premier! Tiff and I stood in Trafalgar Square for almost 5 hours - but we got to see the entire cast! Incredible experience. Just wish we could have gotten the wristbands to get inside the fence.
 Days off mean even MORE exploring. Today, we took the tube up to Chelsea to wander through the Psychic Gardens and to tour Stamford Bridge, home of the Chelsea FC. Such a neat experience! I now own my first European football shirt :)
After a long day of exploring and, of course, walking, ice cream at Harrod's seemed completely necessary. Tiff and I had no trouble finishing this off in record time.
