October 23, 2011 by findingpaola

Now that I think about it, we really couldn’t have picked a better time to go to London. We were really lucky with the way autumn treated us. The changing color of the leaves really added to my overall experience. It added a certain spice to things. The third day in London, we got on the train for a day out of the city.

Trafalgar Square was our very first […]
