Hello from London!! The past two days have been absolutely amazing! We've had so much fun, seen so much, and met a lot of great people! Yesterday, we were up early and hopped on the tube (what they call the Subway in the UK) and went down to Trafalgar square. It was right in the heart of London. We took pictures with the giant lions, and did a few jumping pics of the waterfalls (naturally :) We then got our double decker bus tickets and all hopped on the bus. It was really fun and we went all around London. We saw the Tower Bridge, London Bridge, the London Eye, where the black plague was, where that fire that burned all across London started (I was zoning during that part..my bad), St. Paul's Cathedral, Shakespeare's World Globe, where Daniel Ratcliff (Harry Potter) went to school (the London School for Boys), saw where John Harvard went to school (the man that started Harvard University), Big Ben, and a lot more that I can't remember off the top of my head. Basically, the double decker bus rocked our socks off. After that, we walked down the red road that led to Buckingham Palace. We took some pictures and rested a bit. We then had lunch at the Cript and had lunch and then went upstairs and toured the church, which was really pretty. After that we walked around, took a boat tour on the Thames River, and hopped back on the tube and headed home. We had such a fun day, but we're exhausted! We took a nap, and then went out with our group to a London Club called Tiger Tiger, which was huge, and a lot of fun!

This morning we were up early once again, ate some breakfast hopped on the tube and headed back to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard. However, we thought it started at ten buuuut it started at 11. So, we had awhile to wait, but got great seats!! It was a really cool experience. We then went down to Westminster Abbey to see the church and Big Ben up close and personal. After that we hopped back on the tube (we are becoming experts of the tube) and headed down to the Tower of London, which was one of my favorite parts of the day. It is where they house the Queens crowned jewels. They were BEAUTIFUL! We saw the biggest white diamond on earth (I had to pick my jaw up from off the floor when I saw it) and got to walk around the tower. It had a lot of history that went along with it (which I love-yes I'm a nerd) but it was really really neat. Thheen we hopped on the tube and headed to Harrods. My heaven on earth. The only purchase we made were some truffles, (you have no idea how hard that was for me) lol Then we stopped by H&M and headed home on the tube for a rest. Finally, we went downtown to the Eye of London. Its like a huge Ferris Wheel over the Thames River. A lot of people from our tour group did it together (one car could fit 25 people.) It was beautiful and when you got to the top, you could see the whole city! To end the night, we went to a local pub and we all got local food and then stopped and got some ice cream from a stand on the way home! We're now all about to head to bed and get up at 5:45am..yes believe it, and head to Paris in the morning. We're all REALLY excited to see Crissa in Paris! Hope all is well in America!! Love and miss y'all! God Bless!

P.S.-We learned a lot of British slang while here.

Rubbish-trash
Bins-Trash can
Lou-the bathroom
Queue-Line
and many more :)

P.S.S.-I wrote this really fast, I'm on a time limit here, so I didn't proofread and probably left things out. Don't judge!
