Merry Christmas

Though it was a drizzly day here in London, we had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas with our house mates and had a delicious feast. Here are some pictures from today:



The food and fun were both great =) We've got quite a lot of other things to share as we've been out and about nearly every weekend this month, trying to pack in the experiences before we head back to CA at the end of this week! So hopefully we'll have stories and pictures of the castles of Wales, Roman Baths, Windsor, and Edinburgh before to long ...

Funny Money

Somewhere in Central London we got slipped a counterfeit bill. We didn't even realize until we tried to use it at a restaurant and the waiter caught us as we were leaving and said "I'm sorry but one of your bills is counterfeit." British people are so polite. Apparently it's such a problem in the heart of the city that the waiters are instructed to examine every note coming in ...

Since there isn't really much you can (legally or morally) do with fake money, let's play a little game of "Can you spot the counterfeit?" The same bill will be on top in all three pictures ...

First, the back side of the bills ...
Hmm ... hard to tell much from that. Now the front side ...

And now for the total giveaway ...
Did you guess the top bill? Congratulations! You've won a 10ish pound note!

Slideshow of September

You may have been wondering if I would ever post something ... well the suspense is over. We put together a slideshow of some pictures from our first month in London, enjoy!
