A foggy day in London Town

Well we just got back from our weekend in London with our whole study abroad group. On the first day. . . we rode the bus three hours into London. We stayed in a little hostel which sounds scary, but wasn’t all that bad. After we got checked in, we went with our little group we hang out with to a shopping district called Covent Garden. We ate dinner on Drury Lane, like where the muffin man lives, at a little pub.





Then we walked across the way to a little shop and it was like a London Blossom (Jodi) cute little boutique. We shopped around at some fun sales and then went into a store called Soccer Scene where I tried to find out what was cool for the guys in my life. It was pretty confusing. A little further down the road we found a little outdoor market, pretty much equivalent to the Orange County Swap meet. We found some fun soccer stuff to bring back for prizes and some tourist-y London sweatshirts, of which we have worn every day since! We didn’t know it was like winter here and have been freezing the whole time!
After the market, we walked across a bridge into the heart of London. I told Nicole, “Oh my gosh! We are so winning London!” which is the name of our blog, which comes from, what else, but a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movie, of course.



We got ice cream cones and hung out on the grass, enjoying the weather, until it was time to ride the London Eye. It is the tallest, “Observation wheel,” in the world! It was pretty much a Ferris wheel shaped like an egg. We decided the Disneyland one that Travis and Jill and practically me cried on was way scarier. The view was so awesome! We rode up right as the sun was setting and so we could see all the lights of London town. It pretty much looked like what Peter Pan would have seen.
After the ride, we went and looked at Big Ben. We were there right as the clock struck ten and then we walked by the parliament building.
