Meg and Jill met me in London! It felt like I'd never left home. The laughter and conversations picked up where we left off in September. London was much more modern than I expected. Huge glass buildings blend with ancient stone churches. It felt a lot like New York City. We spent four days in London. We saw it all: Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, the Tate Modern Museum, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Abbey Road. We also had a tour of the Tower

of London where three of Henry VIII's wives lost their heads. Nottinghill was another favorite. We strolled through the markets and ate at a cafe. Britain is not known for good weather or good food, but we weren't disappointed. The skies were blue, and we loved the "English breakfast" and the outdoor market with cheese samples. Meg and Jill were not too keen on the fish and chips. Our favorite memories were made on our pub crawl. We stopped at every tube stop on the way to our hotel, found a pub, and toasted our friendship.
