Day 15- Day 20

Hello All! 

Chris arrived just in time to catch another flight. Off we went to Paris! Our hotel was wonderful, the food was great, and my only real complaint was the people and cleanliness.  We saw all of the big sights like Larc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, The Eiffle Tower, and the Pyramids at the louvre.

The second day we took a train an hour out of Paris to see Versailles. We walked all the way to the gates and got stopped. It was closed for the day for the President to see it. We got lunch and went back to Paris. We shopped and eat again to kill time. We ended up going back to the Notre Dame and going to the top of the bell towers.

We then caught the train and flew home to London.

On Tuesday I had class and let Chris go off on his own his first day in London. After class we meet up and went to Oxford Street to shop. That night we went out to the Ice Bar and had a really good time. We then went to 2 other bars and hung out before going home for the night.

Today (Wednesday) We saw the big sights in London. We went on the London Eye, We saw big Ben, We sat in on session in the commons in Parliament. We also saw Westminster Abby, and Buckingham Palace. We're home now to nap and rest up. Then maybe a picnic in the Park? The weather is wonderful today.

Pictures will follow!

Day 15- today

I have not forgotten, will update soon!

Day 13 and Day 14

Day 13:

I woke up bright and early and went to school. It was a really pretty day out. I went to class and finished my first tutorial. I even got to start on my second one. I walked home at 1. I stopped at some shops on my way home and bought some shirts and a really nice skirt. When I got back to my flat I ate lunch and meet up with Kelli and Sarah. We got coffee and went shopping some more.  We went to dinner at the cutest place on earth called Camden Kitchen. Then we went back and hung out. Later we went out to South Kingsington Bars. 


Day 14: I woke up to a strange man in my kitchen, talking on a cell phone. All of my roommates were gone (away for the weekend). I was alone with man. He turned out to be a maintenance worker. It scared the poop out of me. I swore I was in Taken. Why would maintenance have a key, and not even knock.  I emailed my RA to ask about knocking policies. I spent the day in. I cleaned our whole flat. I washed dishes, picked up. I packed for France tomorrow. I went out and food shopped so Chris has things to eat. Now I'm home again. I think I'm going to nap and read.

I made Pimms and Lemonade. It is a very classic London Summer Drink that is british Lemonade (Carbonated). Half bottle of Pimms brand alcohol, and mixed fruit. I put in sliced apples, oranges, limes, mandarins and strawberries. Then you just add ice and enjoy. 

I want a picnic.

Day 12

Today I woke up early and went to the British Museum. My roommates had class there so I tagged along and enjoyed some art. When they were having their actual class part outside I walked to a souvenir shop across the street and got a few things to take home. Then we came home and made grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch. I then began a new book and took a much needed nap. After I woke up, Kelli, Sarah and I went to get sushi for dinner. It was really really good.

I'll post pictures up soon!

Day 11

I woke up and took the bus to school. My teacher was finally there (third class, first time he was there.). I learned so much already and I think I might be pretty good at CAD. I'm excited to learn more. I took the 45 minutes walk home threw Regent Park. Its a beautiful day here and It was really nice. I topped up my phone and I got postage. Then I came home. I'm about to go make some lunch and find my roommates.

Cheers!

Day 10

It hailed so bad yesterday. I've never seen anything like it! I also saw the hangover which was so funny. There was slight nudity in the ads too, which was weird. I'm off to school now! 

Have a good day!

Day 6-Day 10


Wow- 5 days sense I last updated! Sorry! I took the weekend to fly home for my Washington Redskins Cheerleader Ambassador Photo shoot. I know right? The picture is just after my shoot before I left for the day. Over all it went well and I'm so happy I got to go home and see everyone. I just got back in London 20 minutes ago, so I'll update soon on my exciting stuff!
