Becoming Royalty

Hello family and friends in America! Yesterday (28 March 2013 - how dates are written in Europe) was Mary Margaret's and my last day in London. It was such a busy and awesome day. We went to see St. Paul's Cathedral (we could not go in because they were having a special closed service), Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, the Churchill War Rooms, and the British Museum. So... yes, phew. Busy. But I am all about seeing as much as I can while I am visiting a new city.

Last night, we (again) found a really cool Mexican restaurant that only locals frequent. It was delicious. Kirsten's dish was definitely my favorite: goat cheese, spinach and sweet potato enchiladas. That might not sound appetizing to you, but, my friend, it was "close your eyes good" (thanks for the spot-on description Kir).

Here are some pictures from our day...

WARNING: The following is a cheesy girl moment. You might want to skip this paragraph. So, whilst walking through Westminster Abbey, I thought about how many kings and queens walked down the center aisle for their coronation or to say their wedding vows before God and their loved ones. And then I thought, "Oh wow. It is March 28th. Nate and I get married 6 months from today. And I'm walking down the same aisle Princess Kate walked down on her wedding day" (it was a long thought). So, basically I am royalty now. It's a stretch. I know.

We had to get up at 3:45am to make our flight from London to Munich. You will hear all about that adventure in my next post. I hope everyone is having a great Good Friday.

Regards (Mary Margaret hates this salutation),
