London: The First Thirty Days

I can't believe we have already been in London for one month. Only 23 months remaining for us to try to enjoy all the things to do in this amazing city (and, by extension, the rest of Great Britain and Europe). Thankfully, I feel like we have managed to cram in a lot in our first month in the United Kingdom. This is such an amazing place to live, and it feels like we live in a fantasy land sometimes. Even the morning commute is still somewhat whimsical, when I'm sitting on the top level of a double-decker bus. In short, there is a lot of awesome stuff to do here.

 Like visit Holland Park in our own backyard. I don't think our son has

seen this much green in his whole life. 

 And our new neighbors seem nice. Prince George and his baby sister live

about 15 minutes away in Kensington Garden. 

 The Embassy, located in Grosvenor Square, is a bit of a longer commute for us than in Juarez, but at least it has a great park right outside our front door. 

 And there are some monuments to see, I suppose. 

 They look pretty cool at night. 

 The locals are friendly, and always up for a quick game of football.

 The fauna, on other hand, can be a bit standoffish. This penguin walked away

from our little guy right in the middle of a conversation. 

The grilled cheese sandwiches are awesome.

And there is a slow enough pace here, so that you still have time

to stop and smell the roses.
