Cousin Oliver

Dear Katie and Tigey,

Today is our last day! We had a relaxing day, roaming around the city. Here’s me and Rachel with one of London’s famous telephone booths.

Then we went to a wax museum. There were rooms and rooms full of famous people… but they were all made of wax! We had fun taking pictures with them, pretending we were famous, too.

Then we all went to a football game. Two American teams were playing in London and we went to watch them play. Rachel and Josh were sad to leave tomorrow, but they were happy that their trip was so much fun!

Tomorrow, I am flying back to the U.S. with them… hopefully I will see you guys while I am there!

Dear Tigey and Katie,

Today is our first full day in London. Rachel is feeling sick, so we’re taking it easy.

We hopped a bus and went on The London Eye. The Eye is a giant ferris wheel that is 900 feet tall and gives you a view of London from really high in the air.

It was a long line, but it was fun to go up so high.

After we rode The Eye, we walked across the Thames River to say hello to Big Ben:

The tower behind me and Rachel is called “Big Ben”, and it’s a big loud clock that chimes in London. It’s got a 14-ton bell (that’s as heavy as 10 cars!) inside the tower.

The we went to see Buckingham Palace, which is where the Queen of England lives.
