London

I could totally live in London. I love it here and I wish we were staying longer. If we have time before Vietnam we are coming back for sure. On our first morning here I work up with a miserable cold so head my is stuffy and my body is aching. I really just wanted to curl up somewhere with hot tea, a book, a blanket and a couple of cats but I didn't want to waste any time exploring this amazing city. So I trudged through and saw Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the National Museum. I also went to half a dozen second hand and vintage stores (called charity shops here).

I look angry in pretty much every picture of myself in London which is a shame because I'm not angry I'm just really really sick.

The Tate

 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell this story! So, we were walking back from The Tate and we saw a group of people standing by a fence, so naturally we went to investigate. It turned out they were a group of paparazzi (and a few fans) waiting behind the back entrance to London Studios for Emma Watson to arrive to film some TV segment. So of course I waited for her too because I knew she and I would make really awesome friends. I mean, I think we would totally get along.

So I waited and waited until finally a car pulled up! I was so excited to meet my new best friend, I quickly snapped a few pictures to document the moment (so we could look back on it fondly over the years). Then these dingles walked out.

A boy band apparently? Is it NSynce? Backstreet Boys? We'll never know...

After standing around long enough to eat a hot dog, we left.

Emma, if you are reading this call me!
