So two weekends ago our good friends Dan and Aimee came over and stayed with us for 4 nights. they had just come from spending 2 weeks in paris on a training course for Dan's work. it was so wonderful to see them - absolutely amazing. on the saturday afternoon we went and walked arround the city a bit and took them to a belgium resturant (the one with the mussels). Dan's put some photos up on his facebook profile if you're interested.

We tried a new beer "Kwak" it tasted alright, but came in very cool glasses:
Sunday we went to the tower of London. (more on that later)
on Monday night we came home and found that Dan and Aimee, after being here for less than 3 days had seen the queen and prince charles and the king of saudi arabia:
Queen and king
prince charles
how awesome is that!!! so of course we were very jealous :-D
Here's us on their second last day at a pub just near our place:
so anyway - we of course have quite a few photos of the tower of london. we thought we'd be different and make a video of them with cool music and transitions and stuff.... We were going to make a story up with the photos with an evil king and queen and a peasant uprising but we couldn't agree on the story and there was a bit of an issue with plot-creep so we scrapped the story and just added cool music :-D
one photo of Debbie in the ancient throne room didn't turn out as I expected. I said to debbie "try to look Regal" but it just turned out horribly. anyway, we made it turn pretty colors to try to brighten it up a bit :-P
the photo of the raven is also courtesy of Dan.
it was a very cold, windy and rainy day so some of the photos also have water on the lens unfortunatly. the whole day was great fun dispite the weather. I'd like to go back sometime because we didn't even get to see the whole thing!
anyway, here's the video (it's 10 meg so you may want to hit pause and wait for it to fully download so you can view it smoothly) you can also hit the full screen button which is the button on the bottom right of the video section:
