London

Yup that's Big Ben. Pretty sweet. I didn't see it close up, this was just taken from the coach I was on.

Have you ever felt when you go to somewhere completely new and you feel as if you've been there before? That's how I felt coming to London. Sure, I had no idea where I was going since in reality I had never been there. But as I was walking around I didn't feel uncertain or out of place, I felt as if I fit right in.

Future moving to London plans? Maybe! Once I have money it is certainly a consideration.

My tour guide today was my lovely roommate from Philly, Kayla! She's living in London doing an internship programme and meeting Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter).

She showed me where she's living (the area is so posh), her school, loads of landmarks (St. Paul's, Big Ben, London Bridge, the London Eye), Piccadilly Circus (the Brit's version of Time Square), the TARDIS and we visited the British Museum (where the English have Greek stuff) and the Tate Modern Art Museum.

It was such a lovely time, it couldn't have been better! It was wonderful to see her again and I am already planning on returning next month.

Also I had the absolute best falafel ever at Piccadilly Circus! It was spicy and also had non-spicy bits to help soothe the spicy bits. Delicious, I highly recommend it.

At the Tate I was so glad to be able to see works of art that we had been talking in my art history classes. Loads of work by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Alberto Giacometti and Francis Bacon. Being able to see such famous pieces is such a privilege to somebody with close to zero ability to create visual art.

So yeah, London is fantastic and you should go if you haven't been. It is well worth the trip!
