London

You can probably tell by the Cotswolds pictures that our vacation weather wasn't great.  London, unfortunately, was more of the same.  Cold (in June!) and rainy.  Most days, we looked like this.

We did some interesting things that might not always be on people's lists when visiting the city.  The first was a tour of Lloyd's of London.  I think the idea came about because Mom had to work one day, so one of her colleagues took us across the street and showed us around.  I didn't know what to expect... we had to get really dressed up, and went through pretty serious security.  I walked away thinking insurance was really cool, so that had to be one awesome tour, right?   

After Lloyd's, we had dinner with some of Mom's work friends, who took a great picture of us on from the balcony of the restaurant.

Later, we went to the East end of the city in search of a Banksy gallery, and came across some famous street art.  

When we finally got to the teeny tiny and very crowded art gallery, we were not disappointed.  It was way cool... too bad we couldn't afford the good stuff.  Actually, I take that back - Bizzy got stickers.    

The rest was filled with what you might expect... Indian food, Tate Modern, National Gallery, Borough Market, Tower of London, St. Paul's, and some shopping.  We walked our bums off, and had a great time.  

PS - This was our attempt at an Abbey Road photo (never mind the fact that we were in Notting Hill).  It was hopeless, but Ryan's poses make the pictures pretty funny.
