Just a quick entry. My parents came to visit! They came into Heathrow on the 2nd. Not having slept at all, I attempted to keep them up until at least 10 or so.

I decided to take them to Westminster. Despite having been in London for 4 months, I hadn't actually gone into Westminster Abbey. Most of these sites are pretty expensive and one time visit sorta places but it was still really amazing. Much more interesting than St. Paul's. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures inside.

We also walked around Parliament and crossed the bridge to the London Eye. I bought tickets for my parents to ride it. I'm riding it in a few weeks when Tim comes. It's a half an hour ride and costs 17 pounds, but you can't miss it. Check out the pictures as they are pretty awesome.
