London

Oh my!  I should have posted this blog forever ago!  Here is my very delayed London Experience.   I will also be posting about my time in Barcelona this week.  I'm not going to allow myself to get so behind like I did with this post.

It's hard to sum up all of London in one blog post but I'm going to try and do my best!  I'm already worried I'm going to reach the max number of pictures.

We got into London at 9:30 Friday morning and were starving!  So we ended up at cafe not far from St.Paul's Cathedral.

 We were very excited to get site-seeing so we immediately headed off to St. Paul's Cathedral.

It was spectacular.  Put it on your bucket list.  Isaac Newton is barried there and studying Mechanical Engineering I had to pay me respect of course!  We climbed all the way to the top of the cathedral with our backpacks and the stair cases were extremely small.  

But it was totally worth it.  

You could see all of London from the top.

We decided to head to the hostel after the cathedral and saw a red phone booth...So of course we had to stop and take some pictures.

That night we went to Les Miserables.  WOW It was sooo FUN.  I had never been to a show before but I don't think this will be my last one.

The next day we went to Westminster Abbey.  Yup that's right, it's where Will and Kate were married. How cool is that!  I do have to say I don't know if I want to get married where there are so many dead people.  It was like a giant indoor seminary, lined with dead important people.  

After we went and got fish and chips!  So British of us, I know!

We saw Big Ben and the London Eye...

...walked to Buckingham...

 ...saw Buckingham....

 Went to a museum...the coolest part the weird contortionist outside...That's him inside the box

That night was my favorite part of the whole trip.  We went down by the London Eye, there were street venders set up with all sorts of different types of food.  You could see across the river where Big Ben and Westminster Abbey were.  The weather was perfect.  Andrea and I both got yummy crepes and we just saw and stared at the wonderful view.  

The last day we went to to the London Tower.  We got to see the crown jewels.  OMG were there some BIG STONES!  We also got to see inside the old castel.

By lunch time we were exhausted.

After refueling at the restaurant we went to see the circle theater, shasper's theater.  I know my old English teachers would have been jealous.

We went to the most wonderful park after that.  Erin separated and went on her own, which just left Andrea and I to wander through.

I wasn't sure how much I would like London.  I don't consider myself a big city person.  I was prepared for people to be rude and things to be dirty.  But it wasn't like that.  I absolute loved London!
