Wow!

I really haven't blogged much lately... partly because it's summer! And partly because I've been traveling a ton. I didn't ever say, but that trip to london was the most amazing experience I've ever had. WOW! It was such a culture shock. Seeing signs in french/english/spanish. Hearing people's various british accents. Our tour guides were wonderful. Curry was delicious. The other tour groups were friendly. West end was amazing, just like new york, if not better. The tower bridge was majestic. London bridge was nothing. Seeing Henry the Eighth's palace was so cool. Talking to locals, very interesting. Seeing Abbey road and thinking of my favorite Beatle's song- penny lane. Eating british ice cream. Speaking french to the french locals made me want to pee myself. Seeing emma watson on burberry ads was amazing. Finding my favorite TV series, Skins in a video store with the bbc logo on top. Seeing telephone booths resembling those of dr. who. Seeing spectacularly drunk people watching football. The tower of london. Seeing the changing of the guard. Seeing big ben ring. The amazing pictures I took, but have yet to upload. Seeing the typical british houses, and wanting to call one home so bad. Listening to the roar of the london underground and praying that screeching is completely natural. Getting near the window to hear the rush of the train. The amazing fish and chips I ate. Seeing 39 steps. Loving how non theatrical the trip was for us. Eating croissants. Seeing buildings where harry potter was filmed. Wearing my favorite clothes and feeling amazing and european. Buying clothes I don't need. Seeing posh people. Seeing black people with jamaican wanna be accents. Staying up until midnight despite exhaustion. Seeing the semi globe theatre. Seeing mushroom trees. Getting lost in mazes. Walking on cobblestone roads. Finding that random wallace and gromit sticker. I loved it all, and so much more. I want to go back so bad. But I want a friend to come with me. Who wants in? My family is considering a trip in 2011.
