We just got back from a wonderful day in london, Alba and her boyfriend gurrio were really nice and took us around the city. It was really nice to see Alba today!! She's such a good old friend of mine, and we hadn't seen each other for ages. But once we got together it was like no time had passed!
We walked almost the whole day around london. We went to the british museum for like ten mins (becasue it closed). we'll go back tomorrow though! And we saw big ben (alba kept calling it big bang), parliament, and a lot of really cool markets, shops, buildings, rivers, people... you name it! It definitely wasn't the london I remembered when I came here as a kid, but nevertheless it was still awesome. Just the smell and the people are so different than they are at home!
We got a coffee from mcdonalds (alba and her bf work there so we got it for free ha) and walked along the river thames. It was so beautiful, but really cold! I borrowed a leather jacket that was on a coat hanger downstairs (i still don't know whose it is!) but it kept me warm. hopefully i can borrow it again tomorrow!
At night we walked around lots of the famous squares and ended up in china town and soho, and somehow landed in a bar to drink. After we got in, went to the bathroom, and walked up to the bar, we noticed there was a picture of a naked man on the wall, and the whole room was filled with very well-manicured looking men. It was a gay bar! We got a beer anyway, and stayed till they closed... about a half an hour. Then we walked to the underground/metro and took it to the major train station and caught the train to woking where cindy lives.
Now we're here counting our change, looking through pictures, and trying to get tired so we can sleep and wake up for the 11 oclock train in the morning to go back to London!
Hope everyone is well, I miss you all, and wish you could see all this!
Love

  1. So happy that you are able to take in the sights. Sounds like you were able to take in a few more than you had bargained for! Glad you are trying to make it back to the British museum. I could spend weeks there. Say hello to everyone, especially Sally and Eric!
