Day 2

Yesterday we did ALOT of walking!!  I'm guessing 6-8 miles...my legs hurt bad!!  Ryan had a difficult time sleeping and was up at 2am, which gave him about 3 hours of sleep.  I attempted to sleep but that is difficult while someone is tossing and turning/playing on the Internet/wanting someone to talk to.  :)  


We left our hotel around 7:30 and headed down the street to a true British breakfast stop.  This was not the best food choice on our part.  Everything is very plain; it's like they don't use seasonings/salt.  From there we walked to see the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and the Globe Theatre, walking this whole way!!  The changing of the guards after this was craziness!  There were people everywhere.  Its quite a production they put on, bands, soldiers, horses just to name a few things.  We then headed over to Green Park, and grabbed a sandwich lunch on the way to eat in the park.  There are chairs for relaxing that you can rent, so of course we did this to enjoy our lunch in and catch a short power nap.  


After lunch and our nap, Ryan and I walked over to Reagent Street and did some shopping.  We didn't buy anything, just looked around at the different stores they have and how their prices compare with the USA.  It was fun looking at the different shops as we made our way to Piccadilly Circus.  We walked, and walked, and walked, rode the tube, and walked and walked, and rode the tube, and walked until we couldn't walk anymore.  By this time we were back at our hotel.  I was thinking for sure Ryan would want a longer nap, due to his lack of sleep the night before.  However, that was not the case.  I slept and he did not.  


We made a quick stop at a fish and chips place before going to see the musical "We Will Rock You".  This is the music of Queen put into a musical, so it was pretty cool.  While I was sleeping, Ryan was able to find half priced tickets for the third row which made it even better.  :)  Poor Ryan was so sleepy by the end of the show his head was bobbing all over the place.  We left the theatre and headed back to the hotel around 10:15 but decided to swing by the London Eye so we didn't make it back to the room until about 12.  Ryan passed out RIGHT AWAY!!
