Look Kids, it's Big Ben and the Parliament

After a red eye flight that involved very little sleep and lots of excitement, we arrived in London today. It's still hard to believe that we really did this, that we are really here. There was a huge cycling race going on, so due to many road closures, we ended up doing a walking tour and had quick stops at a lot of the London landmarks. After ending our walking tour at Buckingham Palace, we boarded the bus and ended up stuck in traffic worse than LA traffic, due to the bike race. We decided to get off the bus and hoof it to our hotel. We were so glad we did this, as we really enjoyed our walk along the river. Tonight we went on the London Eye which was a fabulous ending to our first day. All 14 of the students are great travelers and took in everything with amazement today. On tomorrow's agenda... The Globe and much much more!
