London Part 2
I'm currently sitting in my new apartment in Bath, and no words can express how good it feels to be in a place I can call home now. But now onto the rest of my experiences in London. I would bore you all to death if I just gave you a list of things I have been up too, so I'm just going to give you the high's and low's of the last few days. I'll start with the highs. Some of us went to the Tower of London today and honestly it now ranks as my favorite thing to do in London historically speaking. Imagining the scenes from the executions and the kings walking the exact same ground as me was an unique experience just because it isn't comparable to anything I have been able to experience in America. Seeing the crown jewels was spectatcular as well even though I had more fun on the tour than looking at the jewels. (I'm a nerd.) Also, on Tuesday, me and my friends went exploring southwest London looking for some football stadiums as well as wanting to see Wimbledon. We found two football stadiums (Chelsea's and Fulham's for those of you who know/care) and we also found Wimbledon. Wimbledon probably ranks second as my favorite thing to visit while in London just because of the area it's in and the classy atmosphere that goes along with it. I'm not a big tennis player but I do enjoy watching Wimbledon every year so I had to buy something from the store. I ended up getting a pair of socks and a patch. We also went to the London eye at night which was interesting just because of the bird's eye view of London we got that not many people get. (even though it was twenty pounds, which is a bit high in my opinion.) The main low from these last few days has been figuring out what time the tube closes the hard way when we got locked out around 12:30, so we had to walk around a hour or two back to the dorms in our khakis and ties that we wore earlier in the night for Phantom of the Opera. Overall, I enjoyed my experiences in London and I can't wait to go back here in a few weeks for a Tottenham match with my friends. We have just arrived in Bath today and it already feels like a polar opposite lifestyle than that of London. (However, Bath does have two H&M's for those of you who care or know what it is, so me and Alex are excited.) I will post again soon after I discover more and more in Bath and get a better opinion on it. Enjoy the pictures.
