This is the last post...as we hop on the tube tomorrow morning to head to Heathrow and then hop across the Atlantic and then home. Here are a few photos from our last day in London!
First, we spent a long time enjoying St. Paul's cathedral. No pictures allowed inside, so we climbed the dome and took some from there. (What's a European trip without at least one claustrophobic climb to the top of a gigantic church dome?)
This is the view from a teeny window in the floor of the dome...the people below are small indeed.
Taking a little break halfway through the climb.
Many landmarks in the background...the London Eye, Westminster bridge, the Houses of Parliament...
Spycam at work once again: tourist caught taking pictures at the top of St. Paul's...
Special picture for Hank Lee...can you see the Eiffel Tower way back there in the distance?
Thunderstorms broke out right as we were getting ready to head for dinner...such a far cry from Greece and 111 degrees!
And, finalmente, here is our happy group at the end of our celebratory meal tonight at Nobu London. Not an easily forgotten dinner, that's for sure. Afterwards, Stasia just kept patting her tummy and saying, "So satisfied, so satisfied."So goodbye, faithful blog readers...it will be sad not to write the blog anymore (because obviously that means vacation is over...), but it's been great fun to write and to read your comments. Happy summer to you all!
E and L
and hey, if you just can't get enough, we've posted most of our many photos here:

have a safe trip back -- we look forward to your return! come by and see our 1/2-demolished house.
hope you're bringing a Nobu doggie bag for me...I mean, Jack.
nice job with the cathedral shot and spy cam...i think the spy cam should continue to work in secret once you've returned to the U.S.- i'm sure you'd find many things to take pictures of...thanks for the blog girls - quite a treat to read of all your adventures...safe travels - and by the way wha'ts the cribbage score???
true dat - what's a vacation in europe without a climb up to a church dome with sweat dripping from one's brow? ;-)
love the nobu. love the blog. and love that you're gonna be home soon.
safe travels!
Thanks for letting me live vicariously; hopefully, some day, we will make it to Europe.
By the way, is it a blogging etiquette to write in all lower case?
