Central London

Today was a fun packed day. We woke up and got ready by 9 for the coach to pick us up for our tour. The tour took us from our flats to central London. We saw so much! I'm trying to figure out how to post pictures, but I'm having a little trouble. Hopefully I can get them up soon for everyone to browse. The tour included Kensington Park and Hyde Park, Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, London Bride, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Saint Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. I'm probably forgetting a couple of places, but it was so much fun. The places were BEAUTIFUL. The detail is amazing on these buildings. The tour mainly consisted of being on the bus, but we occasionally got off the bus to take pictures. The tour lasted until about 12 and they dropped us off to explore! We immediately went to eat because we had worked up quite an appetite. The girls in our flat decided to go to Little Italy. It was good, but everything here is just so different. I ordered lemonade and got sprite? That's just the beginning of it. The food took forever, so by the time we got done we were ready to head back and get some things done at the flat. We needed to get to the grocery store. The exciting part was our first ride in the tube. It was so easy! We all purchased an Oyster card, which is a pay as you go pass for the tube. It gives you the best rate for that certain zone and time of day. It is the way to go. We got from Piccadilly to the the store where we needed to get things for the flat. Once we got everything we needed, and walked back to the flat. Everyone is just chilling out in the apartment. I'll probably try to go to bed early b/c we have an early morning. Classes start tomorrow. I hope everyone is doing well back in the states! Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers! Miss yall.

More to come later.....
