Today we took a train to the London Bridge station and then hopped on the underground "tube" over towards the River Thames. (Ediza and I are actually standing in front of Tower Bridge, which is often mistakenly referred to as London Bridge).
Along the river we saw other famous sites, like Big Ben.
We also were entertained by lots of colorful street performers.
Some were silver...
Others were blue...
And this guy with huge arms gave Amber a hug (at the same time he scared Ediza).
Later on, Ediza decided to practice her "down dog" yoga moves on a grassy field. Behind her is the London Eye, which is like a giant ferris wheel where you can see all of London from. But just like with the Eiffel Tower the lines to go on were so long that we decided to go to a nearby playground instead.
On our walk around the city we came across an outdoor market, a school music concert and this statue of Nelson Mandela. Yesterday there was a huge celebration in London's Hyde Park in honor of Mandela's 90th birthday -- an inspiring way to end the international portion of our journey.
