London with the Johnsons

Our dear friends, Craig and Lisa Johnson, came to visit, so we spent a couple days in London with them. We met them at our downtown hotel and headed over to Westminster Abbey. It was so cool to see where the Kings and Queens of England have been coronated and see the graves and monuments to the cultural greats of the country. That nightwe went to a yummy Italian restuarant, "Bucca de lupo," in Covent Garden and then went to see "39 Steps."

On Saturday, we went to St. Paul's Cathedral. We took a tour with a very knowledgeable guide who showed us all the ins and outs. We heard the history of the bucket brigade during WWII, where the cathedral was saved from bombings and fires. We made the long climb to the tower where we were treated to fabulous views of the city. It was so fun to spend time with our great friends in our adopted hometown!
