Londres . . .

Well after a weekend in Paris there isn't anything more exciting to tell about my time up here in Europe!
The week started out cold and rainy which was scary since there were two out-door shows we had to see this weekend. Luckily, it has miraculously become sunny and warm! Which means markets and parks for us all day long! Yesterday we went to the Borough market to get the best fruit and chocolate covered nuts and dried fruit! So amazing! Two nights ago we went on the Jack-the-Ripper tour and we were given a two hour walk with lots of history and neat buildings in Whitechapel (a very poor area of London). The tour was a little spooky since we went to all the sights of the murders from Jack-the-Ripper but the history behind the infamous man was very fun!
My good friend Tara who goes to school in Scotland has finally joined us in our fun for the last two weeks of London. She shows us around and since she works at an amazing pizza restauraunt we can all go get food there for 20% off! Which is so helpful when you are a poor student!
Today we went to a theatre to get cheap tickets to the World's Longest Running Show: Mousetrap! I am really excited to see it! Our tickets are in the back row but that's what you get when you ask for the cheapest seats in the house! After we got tickets for tonights show we walked over to Oxford Circus which is like 5th Avenue in New York! It was packed with people and was a little too chaotic for me! I ended up getting one very cute shirt for the hot summer which was exciting because students at the department stores there get 10% off! Yay! The H&M is so amazing! They have 3 H&Ms on the same street!!!! And they are all 3 stories high! haha! Then there is this London shop (very similar to H&M but better) called The Top Shop where they have every bit of clothing you can think of at really good prices! They even have a nail salon in the store! It was really fun to see the store but there were so many people there that I was constantly losing my friend Whitney which was so scary because the store is huge!!!!! I felt like a little child losing my mother in Nordstrom! (Which happened once or twice with my mom).
Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day because we will be celebrating our friend Brittlyn's 20th birthday! We will start out the day by going early to the famous Portabello market where I am going to get souveniers for everyone!! Then we will be going to the very famous Orangery where they serve tea (herbal, they pronounce the 'H' here) and cake at Kensington Palace! Then we will end the day with the best ice cream and a performance of The Merchant of Venice at the famous Globe Theatre! It is going to be a day full of very famous things!
