First Day in London


After Jules (the girl I flew down with) and I got to the hotel, I took a shower in a bathroom that is about the same size as a porta-potty except for they crammed the shower and the toilet into the same thing. No joke. When I sat on the toilet my feet were in the shower. After I showered I came out into the room and Jules was already sleeping. I layed down and then seven hours later Jules and I woke up! We were pretty bummed because we had planned on going to a play but it was already 8 pm so we ended up just walking around Buckingham Palace (above picture). This picture was taken right in front of the Queen's Gallery.

Night before I left


This is Mike and I the night before I left. He helped me pack and get all my things I needed for my trip and it was incredibly hard to say bye before I left.

First Day in London


Today I got to London after a long overnight flight from the US. We were going to go see a play but instead we accidentally took a seven hour nap. Whoops! Arriving in London felt like I was entering into the world of Harry Potter. There are phone booths here (I look like an oompa loompa in this pic though cuz my passport purse was under my jacket so it made it stick out...I promise I didn't gain weight in London within 2 hours of being here) and buses that look like the night bus and everyone sounds like Harry! I keep expecting to turn around and see him walking along the street in his Gryffindor cloak.
