Mind the Gap!
We're finishing up our super-fun stay in London tonight, heading out tomorrow morning on the Chunnel to Brussels for a day. Here's a quick highlight reel (because I don't have too much time left on the internet after reading emails), without pictures for now because the internet at our hostel doesnt give us access to a USB port.
Saw a million things, and had a great time with great people!
-Spent our first night wandering around the River Thames, met up with EC in the hostel bar that evening. I managed to stay up until about 11pm. I'm proud of myself
-Next morning, us girls did a Tower of London tour. Hung out with some ravens and a Beefeater.
-Back at the hostel we met up with EC, and with Matty who had just come in on a bus from Wales. We eventually also met with EC's friend Terry. Terry and Matty took us around to a bunch of cool places. We had wine in a super cute little nook close to Covent Gardens, then went to a neat/cheap Bangladeshi restaurant in East London somewhere. Hit up a couple bars/beer gardens and had a great evening.
-This morning we said goodbye to Terry and EC (who are off to Ireland), and then got on a hop-on/hop-off bus tour. Caught a practice parade in front of Buckingham Palace for the Queen's bday in 2 weeks. Lots of fanfare and regalness. Very fun. We went to the biggest toy store ever (7 floors!), and to a lot more typical touristy stops. Had dinner in the hostel, visited the Clink Prison, then said goodbye to Matty. (Eep we're on our own now!!!)
-Went to the Tate modern art museum for a short visit, and I got to see some Dali and PIcasso paintings.
AHH. TIMES UP SO ILL REPORT MORE LATER!¬!!! BYE!

Must, MUST come to Ireland at some point. Like the English, but not uptight. Fantastic. Actually, like the Newfies in many ways. Love 'em. Stop.
Looking down on having to leave Ireland.
PS - Drunk.

Hey sis! You're the coolest. As is Danielle and Carolyn, just so they don't feel left out. Good luck on being alone! Miss you already!
Love Sars
