Sunday, bloody Sunday

That is funny because it is Sunday and we went to the Tower of London today...which has a pretty bloody history. Anyway, the day started with a Harry Potter tour of London. Either Taylor's drink didn't sit well in my stomach or I had bad chicken, but I felt icky for most of the tour. Was a fun tour...but as with many movie scene tours, you need to use your imagination to really see how the movie looked. Sadly there was a citywide marathon going on which kept us from a few stops but I think Tay had fun. Our guide was so cute and made the tour really fun.
By this time, I'm feeling better and Tay starts sneezing. I think she is allergic to old and stuffy, which rules out most of Europe. We headed to the Tower of London and I think she sneezed almost the whole time we were there. Poor baby. We did get some good touring in and saw the crown jewels, a first for me, and decided that was plenty.
We headed back in to town via cab, my idea and a dumb one! Tay wanted to go to this 250 year old toy store. I thought cab would be quicker...and more fun. Ha, ha...remember that marathon? Anyway, we made it but only 15 minutes to shop. Wait, maybe that was smart?
After that we walked back to Trafalgar Square since Tay hadn't really seen the Square without the Harry Potter decor. She perked up a little so we headed out to Buckingham Palace (the site of beach volleyball during the Olympics I'm told). That was a nice walk and beautiful site of course.
Headed to find food, a tricky thing on a Sunday, and ate at cute Italian spot near our hotel. Tay is snoozing...hope she feels better tomorrow. Les Mis tomorrow...another of my London favs.
On another note...I still love it here. I remember why I wanted to stay :) Tay...not so much. She is a home girl and misses her comforts. Having fun, but not ready to move just yet :)
