London, for the summer

We spent the first two months of our summer in London while Mark worked with a bank. What is there to say about London? It is wet (VERY WET) and cold. Therefore, they have some of the most beautiful parks in the world. Out of any large city that I have been to, and this would include New York, Londons parks are the best. Huge and many. I wish I had taken photos of Hampstead Heath, which is my favorite, but you can't really capture it. It is so big and great for running, walking, picnic-ing and it has several playgrounds and pools for kids. If it didn't rain so much I would say London would be a great place to live.


This is Mark at Picadilly Circus.


Eve at St. James Park signing the word bird, there are just a few birds in St. James Park;)


Mark and Eve in front of the gardens beside Buckingham Palace. That place was always packed, and when we first got there it wasn't even opened to the public yet.


Eve strolling down by St.James


Regent's Park. The most beautiful of all the parks, and all the following pictures will show you why.



The Queen Mary's Garden. If we had been there 2 weeks before we would have probably seen it when all of the roses were in bloom.





THese next few are of Eve smelling the flowers at Queen Mary's garden. She would put her face up to them and then say "mmmmm" we didn't realize at first why...





... Then we realized she was pretending to eat them... at least we hope she was just pretending.



These are just random photos that we liked and are of us in London. They are pretty self-explanatory.
