London - Day 1

Hey everyone!

So, everything is awesome so far :). Our flight was long, but we slept through most of it (sort of), we managed to find our friend Jen really easily when we arrived off the subway, and she and her boyfriend, Dan, took us to the most amazing "Intro to London" dinner on Friday night:

Yesterday, you would think we'd start off JC's first trip to London by seeing all the typical London sights... the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, etc. Nope! JC wanted to start the trip with the tour of the Beatles. Here are some pics :)

When we were starving, we made our way into a pub near Trafalgar Square... and we found vegetarian "fish" and chips! Turns out that it was just fried cheese, but I'm not complaining :)

Finally, we met up with some of JC's friends from college and had a really great night:
