Pipe Pictures.

Remember when I bought that pipe from the oldest coffee shop in the entire world?

Well, as you can see, we CLEARLY made good use of it around London.

We love London because you can pretend to smoke a pipe and no one will think twice about it.

Pipe really gets around.
Long live the Pipe!

Cheers to pipes and pipers and nonsmoker pretend pipe smokers everywhere,

The London Bridge is not falling down.

Why We Love London....
Because the Tower Bridge is 100% cooler than the fake London Bridge will ever be!

Also, the Millenium Bridge made us feel like we were walking straight through that one scene in the new Harry Potter movie.  EPIC!! 

Cheers everybody!

There's no place like London.

London was even better the second time around.


It's my favorite city in the world.  I think it is a healthy mix of NYC & Paris.  It has all the crazy city living and incredible architecture of NYC, with just the perfect amount of art and romance like Paris.  Not too mention, no other culture in the world is as rich with history as the Brits are!  London just feels so ALIVE to me.

I am going to break down our trip in a few posts,
so consider this round 1 of Why We Love London.

We love London because of 2 words:  ABBEY ROAD.



Mere words cannot even describe the sheer joy of being present at Abbey Road that morning!  Walking where they walked (and crossing Paul style, mind you)...reading the wall...soaking in the vibes at the studio where the greatest album ever was recorded was pretty much a day I will never forget.  There was so much love.
It was so, so awesome.  
I am now an honorary member of the true Beatles Fan club.  I mean... I kissed the wall!!  If that doesn't show devotion to John, Paul, George, and Ringo, I don't know what does.
 

All you need is love.
Cheers,
Megz

'Ello from London!

...the places where all your dreams come true.

*photo taken by Abbey Road WEBCAM .  My family got to watch from half way across the world as Andrew and I crossed over, and over, and over...  don't worry, many, MANY more photos to come.  Until then, just know I'm still on a high from being at Abbey Road.  LOVE IT!



Cheers
to the greatest band (the Beatles)
and the greatest city (London)
of all time,
M
