The London Eye

Because none of us has issues with heights (witness the pictures of Carl and Robert taken by Jordan at the top of St. Paul's), we decided it would be a great idea to ride the London Eye.

To give some sense of the height of the Eye, we took the following picture of Parliament and Big Ben from ground level before we started our assent.

Big Ben as we begin our assent.

Carl and Jay gripping the interior bar of the pod in which we were riding.  We weren't nervous at all.  Couldn't get Carl to look down once during the entire ride.

Big Ben and Parliament from about half way up.
