well, i typed a really long blog entry only to have it deleted....so i will paraphrase...

Day 4 Sunday- BEcky

had breakfast at the italian restaurant with the great food and grumpy waitress...i feel at home there. started snowing on way back to hotel. hopped on the double decker tour bus again and went to trafalgar square for chinese new year. during the day's celebrations, we crossed the bridge on foot and went on the london eye...the big ferris wheel thing with observation pods...purchased the cheesy photo from the ride...but while we were up there, we watched as the snow storm was moving across london....it was crazy...snow everywhere. oh and on the way, i turned around to find julie and noticed some poor chap picking up his cartons of milk and groceries from the ground. yeah, sure jules, i believe you when u say u were helping him...and that you did not body check him...sure...if that makes u sleep at night....uh huh, right.

walked to Westminster Abbey -closed of course. hailed a cab...asked the old fart if he could give us a ride to trafalgar square and he just says. NO. sheesh.

so we hoof it in the snow back to trafalgar square which was like a block or 2 from where we were anyway...

the snow was crazy after dinner at a pub (had the traditional roast dinner)...anyway, it is snowing really hard and i have julie hail a cab....or try to...she stupidly stands there in the blizzard and not a single one comes by...ahahhahha SUCKA

so, we walk a ways and then julie challenges me on getting a cab...ok, jules, you stand there in the snow facing the storm and i will stand here under this ledge...yeah, work it girl!

we get in a taxi to take us to SoHo which is supposed to have chinatown, red-light district, shopping and more shopping and a gay section. taxi driver must have a sense of humor since he dropped us off smack dab in gay-ville. i have seen all the men kissing each other to last me a couple years...so at the end of the street are the peep shows and lap dance places. well, miss julie has a thing for pretty lights and has to go to these places to take photos....NICE

anyways, we brave the snow (it is really coming down- should have a couple inches any minute now) and take a taxi back to the Hostel internet cafe. hope to go to York or somewhere north tomorrow on the train.

so for the voyeurs out there reading the blog...leave comments so we don't think we are talking to ourselves....miss most of you....becky

Becks Day 3 (jan 31)

last night we spent the evening with julies' friend pub-hopping...he was flipping HILARIOUS...julie thought we were supposed to meet him at 2pm and he said 3pm so we almost missed him. spent the hour in between fighting with ATT about why our phones do not work...they suck a$$. we both paid a bunch of money for nothing. called it an early night because (well i was tired....and julie was drunk...she is on a mission to drink every freaky brank of beer she can get her hands on...) she also snored for a couple hours back at the hotel...that was fun...listening to her and watching british porn-y television till mid-morning.
