We originally planned on spending New Years in Edinburgh, Scotland, but our plans fell through. Luckily we had a pretty awesome back-up plan: London! We picked up our cute new car (I'll post pictures later!) on Friday morning and left for London in the afternoon. We met a couple for dinner, found a pub on the way to fireworks, and then waited for the fireworks show to start. The other guy with us was very friendly, so we made a lot of friends while waiting for the show to start. One British couple was especially talkative, so they shared stories with us about England politics, the Princess Diana conspiracy theories (we didn't even know they existed!), and and how to correctly pronounce the name of the county we live in.
Then the fireworks started. And they were AMAZING. I'm not just saying that because fireworks are one of my favorite things. Even Thomas was amazed - he forgot to kiss me at midnight because he was gaping at them! I don't know how to take good picture of fireworks, but I'll share some others from New Years.
