I know, right?

So my last week in London was spent galavanting around with some of my besties: Julie, Beth, and Mike came all the way from Seattle to hang out with me in England! We had a lovely time.


We started out in Reading, so that I could show them around my Uni. They kindly helped me pack up my stuff... what dears.


On Saturday we hit up London! It was so fun to take pictures and drink tea and explore together.


Next it was off to Bristol and Brighton. We saw the suspension bridge, the Roman Baths, and we even shared a cream tea with Jane Austen. We also went Christmas caroling around Bristol-a random and yet entirely enjoyable experience. A lot of times during this section of our trip we would look at each other and say, "Is this really happening??"


On Monday it was back to London for the day, and then to our first show: Wicked! SO GOOD!!



Then yesterday we had a full day in London, and last night we saw the Lion King. Where were our seats, you ask? Oh, you know... IN THE FRONT ROW!!! We could see up Simba's nostrils. We could smell the musk of Pumba. It was like flying first class-you always want to do it, but it's never actually a reality. Except it was. I think this show changed my life. I want to live in Africa and be a lion now.


So, that is just a small glimpse of our fabulous time this week. I was so lucky to have such wonderful friends visit me!! I am currently sitting in our empty hostel bedroom, about to check out and shop in London for a few hours before heading to Windsor to meet Victoria. Then I will wake up tomorrow and fly home! America, get ready! I am coming back! It's so strange. I think I will go now, but don't worry Annette, I will start reflecting on what I have learned here and will post at least one more blog. Thanks for reading, anyone who is still around! See you all soon!
