London was probably my favorite trip yet. Extremely fun, especially getting to meet up with my friend Sean from home and going on a 4 person pub crawl and tour of central London at the same time. Saw as much as we could in two full days, did pretty well I must say. Missed out on the Tower of London and a walk on the Tower Bridge but hit almost everything else. Gorgeous city, so much to do, and of course, great pubs. Still not sure if it beats Rome especially since the pound craps on the dollar however, honestly still couldn't pick one or the other. Enjoy the pictures had 190 pics, took out a bunch but still have a ridiculous amount. One more trip left Instanbul on the 5th of May. Flight to New York May 12th, excited but not excited to come home haha but miss Dilly and the gang, keep you posted on more picture updates, still have a ton from Rome which are yet to make it up.

| London Bridge, pretty cool to be on otherwise not as exciting as I thought. The Tower Bridge was a lot cooler looking but we didn't get to go on it just saw it from a distance. |

| St. Paul's Cathedral from the front. Went inside but it was 15 pounds to go inside which is absolutely ridiculous. 15 pounds is roughly 25 US dollars...not worth it |
