After Olympic Park we went to see Big Ben, the House of Parliament, the London Eye, and Westminster Abbey. We had lunch before walking through St. James Park to Buckingham Palace. The park was so gorgeous! After, a few of us went to Harrods and went to the ice cream parlor. Tonight a few of us are going to O'Neills for our last night out in London. I'm sad to leave London but will certainly be back soon. Can't wait for our next adventures in Paris! Cheers!

Last Day in London
It has been so awesome being back in London! Today was our last day in the city. We started our day off bright and early with a tour of Olympic Park. I don't think anyone expected the amount of construction we saw. The park area was completely different from what I saw last summer. We all went to the top of the Orbit to see an aerial view of the park. It was amazing to see how much construction was really going on. Some venues such as the basketball arena were already gone. The Aquatic Center looks nothing like last summer as they took off the outside wings of seating. We also got to see amazing views of the London skyline from the top of the Orbital. Once I can get pictures off my camera I will post some pictures from last summer in the park and from this visit.
