London - Day 1

After a drive to Phoenix, a cross country flight next to a chatty Irish man who desperately needed a cigarette, and a transatlantic flight surrounded by a large group of excited high school aged exchange students (payback for when Kyle and I went on an exchange to Germany when we were 16), we finally made it to London. Surprisingly, we were able to jump right into our day by renting bikes and exploring some sights around the city. Here are a few highlights. We'll do some more sightseeing together tomorrow before Kyle has to work on Saturday.

We finally sat down to eat dinner. The fish and chips were yummy (as was the beef and ale not pictured), but we weren't too sure about the minted mushy peas
