Whitney and Thea hit London

We made it to London!  As soon as we got in we stopped at our hotel in Islington to drop our bags.  We were pretty tired but soldiered on.  Kate was working all day so Whitney and I explored.
We tried o head to Olympic Park but there wasn't much you could do without tickets or credentials.  We did see the Olympic Village, with the athletes all flying their flags off their balconies.


 Next we went to Victoria Park where they were hosting a big free Olympic watching party.  There were live lives, food, drinks and massive TVs.

 Our last stop of the night was The York, an English Pub where we cheered on Mo Farah's track gold with a bar full of Brittons.  Still not sure who the guy was, but boy were they excited.
After that, we went home and slept for 15 hours.  I kid you not.  Stay tuned for Sunday's adventures.  Cheerio!
