London, England

How I miss you!

Ok so ... I don't so much miss London as much as I miss my friends.

On Oct. 7 2006 I left on a plane to London, England for the next two weeks to visit my friends. Over all I had a great time, it can even be described as an amazing time.

The night before leaving for London, I was sitting here thinking what am I getting myself into, how can I get myself out of this. Looking back now I'm so glad I didn't change my mind.

The first couple of days I wasn't sure what to think of London and was dying to come home. As the week went on I was pretty happy that I made the decision to come. London is a beautiful city. I enjoyed every moment. Seeing all the old building with all the details on the outside of them.

Being able to go into Kensington Palace and getting a look at the home of Princess Diana and where several other royal family members live was really cool.

Seeing some of Diana's dresses was super cool cuz seeing them in front of me would

remind of seeing them on t.v. or in magazines.

Not to mention some never seen pictures taken of her by Mario Testino.

She was so pretty!



Buckingham Palace is in person larger then life. I would have loved to be able to go inside. When I say that, I mean go inside the palace anywhere I wanted to. That would have been fun!



We ended up going to the V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum) and wasn't to sure about going there. To my surprise I really enjoyed myself there. Not to mention that Red Cat and I had a blast together. Taking some really funny pictures of each other. I never thought that I would like to see art. What I enjoyed most of all was seeing all the sculpture. I have never thought of sculptures as art, to me I have always thought of art as a painting but as Red Cat mentioned, sculptures are pieces of art as well, as she's saying this to me, she's giving me a funny looking face like I'm crazy or something.

Sorry, I just never thought of sculptures as art, kill me! ha ha



We also visited ...

Tower of London

National Gallery

Trafalgar Square

Millennium Bridge

Modern Tate

London Eye

Harrods (more then once!)

Parliament

Big Ben

That's all I can think of right now!

Tea at The Ritz

Tea is a big thing in England. Red Cat and HoneyD treated me to a afternoon at The Ritz where we enjoyed tea like the rich would. I felt like I was in a fairytale. The whole time we sat there looking at each other and around to see what everyone else was doing and how they were acting so that we didn't look like the odd ones out. To my surprise we fit in really well. We all did a really good job at not looking like fools, good work ladies! Out side as we were taking pictures of The Ritz some man stopped and asked us what we were taking pictures of, is there's a famous star at The Ritz? we looked at him and laughed and said no but I really wanted to say ... yes me, don't you know who I am, I just had tea at The Ritz, I'm famous now! ha ha

(I wish I was!)

Weekend at the Oxford University

A friend of a friend of a friend, ha ha not really! Our friend Supa studies at the Oxford University. Supa had put together a "bop" (party) at the university were it was opened to anyone who wanted to come. At the beginning of the night I felt out of place but as the night went on it got better with the help of some great friends and my favorite friend of the night Stella (the beer) ha ha It was great we had our own little party in one of the corners of the room. Laughing, dancing, taking pictures, and lets not forget drinking. We all did good that night no one got sick or went home sick! It ended up being a really great night, all you really need is to have a really great group of friends to have fun anywhere and that I have! As I mentioned the night got better, better, and BETTER! ha ha It will be a night that I wont forget for some time and I don't think someone people will let me forget it! If only the walls could talk! ha ha

My second week there went by really fast and that was kind of sad. Another thing that went really fast in London was my money. Spending money there was like taking the London tube it went really, really fast. Before you knew it, you had no more money and had no idea how you spent it. That sucks!

I worst part of my trip to London was ... leaving my friends, I hate good byes. What's so GOOD about good byes anyways? I'll tell you ... NOTHING!

What I'm looking forward to now is their return to CANADA, I can't wait!

Thank you Red Cat, HoneyD, and Supa for all you guys did for me for all the fun, laughs and memories that I will always remember. It feels good inside to know that you have really GREAT friends in our life. Knowing that no matter where you are with them, you will always be guaranteed an excellent time!

Love you all and miss you very much!
