What is going on?
My sleeping schedule is anything but a schedule right now. The first night I went to sleep around 12:30am then I woke up at 2:30am and couldn't fall back asleep. I read, surfed the web, and read some more until about 6:30am then I slept for 2 hours. Then two nights ago we wen to bed around 2:30am, Liz forgot to change her cell phone time to London time, so we woke up 2 hours later then we were supposed too. It was "quite nice" to get some extra sleep though after my first night. Then yesterday I fell asleep 3 times on 3 different occasions in the car. And now here I am in my bed at 1am sitting next to my wife who is journaling. We both fell asleep at 9pm, then I woke up to her typing away at 12:30am. What the heck???? So I am now blogging and wandering what the heck we are going to do about sleep. Another thing is our eating schedule or lack of. We are eating at the weirdest times and skipping meals. We ate at 1am on Thursday night.
Anyways, London is still AWESOME!! We went into London on Thursday and were super tourist that day. We saw alot of the tourist stuff but it was incredible. Big Ben is something to behold. A bit of information: Did you know that Big Ben is not the clock, but Big Ben is the name of the bell that rings. It is part of the house of parliment, which is an absolutly incredible building. It is this building that is centuries old that is as long as a few football fields that has so much detail in it. We also saw the tower bridge which was incredilble. We have some really good pictures. We saw too much to go into detail about. WE did go on a double decker tour bus, that was sweet!! We rode that thing around for a couple of hours taking in all the sites. Buckingham palace was sweet too. We got to see a few of the guards at different places, they are serious. These guys don't move, or crack a smile or anything, and they can't be any older than 19 or 20. Liz got a picture right next to one, and she swears that he was going in and out of sleep. Another one had snaut running down his nose but I don't think he is allowed to touch it. That was funny too.
Today, (Friday) we went and saw Stonehenge. WOW!! I must say that it was quite cold out. Seriously, it was freezing, I think I am still thawing out after that. I fell asleep on the way there and on the way to Windsor. Windsor is one of the places that the Queen lives. She was actually at the Windsor Castle when we were there, but we didn't see her, I imagine that is pretty tough.
The Windsor Castle is a real Castle. You have to see this thing, it is so big! There was a Scottish guard there that had an awesome accent. Speaking of accents, the funniest thing that has happened and is sure to happen more is my wife. She all of the sudden has a Brittish accent. Some lad was walking in a store that we were in, and she was in his way, she very calmly looked up at him and said, "sorry", but in a full on Brittish accent. She wasn't messing around or anything, but has taken to the identity of a Brit. She did it a few times after that too, and called me darling. We are creating a monster over here, a Puerto Rican that lives in Arizona with a Brittish accent.
Sorry that we don't have pictures to put up, but we will be getting some up in the next 48 hours. Tommorrow we go back to London and check out some more cool stuff. The history here is amazing, we have nothing like it in the states.
Cherrio till next time

After a terrible sleep on the plane and traveling all day, I went to bed at 10-11ish, and woke up at 3:30am. Laid around a bit, and finally gave up at 4:30am. I read & watched people head off to work while Nora and the other hostel patrons slept til 8ish. And was I tired later in the day? Nope!
So strange. I feel for ya.
