Ireland: London





We checked-in at our hotel (the Hilton Euston.) My parents had a nice, large room on the first floor while I had a very small cubby hole on the 4th floor. Since our flight was 2 hours late we didn't have time to freshen up before my friend came. I met my friend while working at an overnight summer camp for the mentally and physically disabled in NY and we planned to spend the day in London.
When we met up (she had taken the train into London) we ate lunch at a pub with my parents and then took a taxi to the Tower of London. I have to say that every London taxi is large enough for a wheelchair and even has a ramp.
I have been to the Tower before, but it was the first time for my friend. We had a nice time. We saw the Crown Jewels and then had to go back and meet my parents for dinner. We took a taxi back to the hotel. We decided to eat at the hotel and it was a really nice meal. After the meal my friend had to catch her train so I walked her to the station.
It was a really nice, fun time and a great way to unwind after all the problems in Ireland.
