English Channel in December

A trip to the sea has a little different meaning in England than in Greece. Here we are at Beachy Head and Seven Sisters.

Yes, it was a little chilly.

More from London--All together

All 5 Pineda's took a trip into London to see the British Museum and to hang out. We saw some cool things. The Rosetta Stone. Amazing.

The boys hanging out in front of some of the things our present host country "borrowed" from our previous host country from the Parthenon

Everybody is taller than Mum now.

We took some photos similar to these in Athens several years ago.

The Wesley Brothers' pulpit

Ben especially liked the many guitar shops on Denmark Street.

London Pre-Christmas

We had planned a family trip into London to enjoy the pre-Christmas excitement. However, Ben was not able to join us. He is still in Germany. His flight was cancelled and he has been trying for 2 days to get home. We missed him, but we still had fun. We went to a Christmas Carol singing at St Paul's Cathedral.

A festive time of year.
