Brad, Maya and I traveled to London after four glorious days in Paris. We rode into London via train from Beckenham Junction and got off at Victoria Station. Our first day there was April 5th and we decided that we would walk around the city rather than take on orgaznied tour. The weather was very cold and cloudy, but this did not dampen our tourist spirits. Maya was so excited because all she knew was that she was going to London to "visit the fween". We started our first day in London with a visit to Buckingham Palace. I think it was everything that Maya thought it would be - minus the Queen!

Buckingham Palace in all its majesty

No matter how well we made our case, nobody thought to let us in

What an amazing mix of bronze, marble, and gold
The lady for whom this beautiful palace was built
Even when deep in history, culture, and art, there is always time for a kiss

Maya found a perch and wanted a picture
At the request of my little angel, I took a picture of the "really big feet".
