We have only made it to London once thus far, but it is only a 40ish minute train ride or an hour and something drive, so we expect to explore it much more. We were dumped on with rain and kept walking; we're learning that rain is really okay. The weather here was much speculated about before we actually got here. Everyone is aware that the UK has a rainy climate; it does, but most days its more of a lighter misting than a downpour like we were used to in GA and TN. I know we got here at probably the best possible time, so talk to me in the dead of winter when its dark by 4 pm and I may speak differently, but the weather isn't as bad as I feared. It does change on a dime, and rain quite often, but we have had our share of blessed and much needed periods of sunshine. In fact, the longest rain streak we've endured was only about 10 days. We've been loving the daylight- it begins sometime in the 4 am's and stretched into the 10 pm's. Its weird because you wake up at 4:30 and see the light and think you should get up, then by 7 you feel as though you've slept in like a lazy bum! We walked about 10 miles and saw all the sights, though by "saw" here I mean we looked at the outside unless it was free. It ain't cheap over here, so we wanted to to do all of our thorough research before paying any entrance fees. And now, as Jordan likes to say after the famous Clark Griswold and in honor of every roundabout we've encountered and conquered, "look kids, Big Ben."
