London week one

Ok, I haven't been posting. I know. We've switched classes and so aren't as pressured to go exploring. Plus I'm a bit touristed out after Paris and have take quite a bit of time to just be. Plus I don't know all of the sites that I'm supposed to go see.
Yesterday I saw Big Ben, and the outside of Westminster Abbey and Buckingham palace. In addition I walked through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. I really should just go invest in a book about the city.
Yes mom, I ate dinner at a pub last night. However it wasn't the first time. Our first night here we hit a pub for some fish and chips- I thought somehow I would magically love fish and chips, they're all right I guess, I really just wanted a huge plate of fried food and that wasn't how it worked. And then a few of us hit the pub across the street the other night. I didn't eat I had eaten already but went with them. And then last night I was going to get a starter, but saw the spinach and ricotta cannelloni and had to try it! Not exactly the pub fair you had in mind huh? One of the girls got her purse stolen from under her chair while we there so that led to an interesting evening. Somehow I can't feel bad that she lost her passport, we've had a bazillion people tell us not to carry it, and it seems like common sense to me.

Not up to much today. Being a lazy bum and staying it. At least for a good part of the day.
