the day julia mounted the queen's lion

we were a bit shocked yesterday when we left the flat, to find that london has quite a lot of superheros.  mostly supermen, but even batman, mr incredible,  scooby doo, and fred flinstone made an appearance.  when we stopped one superfan to ask, we were informed there was a football game taking place, and the fans were showing their support for 'super kev'.  

we walked around london all day, saw the tower bridge, london bridge (not as exciting as we thought, it didn't even fall down), big ben/parliament, buckingham palace (where julia rode one of the queen's lions),  the tate modern, picadilly circus. walking along the thames we saw a lot of street performers, but our favourite was probably a guy was making the biggest bubbles we've ever seen.  the kids, (and erica) loved chasing them trying to pop them.  a fun day, we are off now for day 2 of touring london.
