Hola SAM, Thank you very much for the RAK postcard. I'm happy to know that you and your son had a great time. I'm thinking about visiting London soon, now I know where to start. I don't know about " The London Eye" though. I'll think about this one lol. Thank you again for your kindness. Hugs, Noemi (n03mi63)

Thank you for the RAK postcard! I've always wondered... do the red telephone booths actually still work, or are they just for show? Glad you had fun! It's raining here right now. :/ ~Katie :]
