This past weekend!!!!!
On Friday I woke up early to go get my parents from the airport! Their plane landed a little late but it went well and then we took the tube back to my flat to drop stuff off. They brought me so much food and so many goodies! It was just like JMU they brought me banana bread, challah and some other things. They even brought Lee his favorite salad dressing! After that we dropped their stuff off at their hotel, about 5 minutes from me, then we went out! We took the tube to London bridge. We went to Borough market, which is the food market that is really good! We sampled a lot of things and bought some snacks and just ate! They had their cheesy potatoes and many other goodies! We walked around there for a while and then we took a boat bus to Westminster area. It was about a 30-minute ride but it was really nice because the tour guide on the bus told us what some buildings were and some history. It was really funny and a nice day so it was great. From there we walked around Westminster Abbey, Parliament and went down to Downing Street. We just walked around it all and hung out. From there we went to Trafalgar square, it is all walking distance which is nice. We walked around there then headed to a pub for dinner!
Saturday we woke up and went to Sir John Soane (a famous architects) house, which has become a museum. My parents were looking into things that I had not done yet so that was really good! We went on an alternative London tour after that was in east London. It was a tour of the street art in this area and our tour guide gave us some history about the area but explained a lot of the street art and different artists. We were talking about Pezz, a street artist, and ten we saw him! It was very cool! Great tour. From there we went to Notting Hill, which has the Portobello market. We walked around that for a while. It has antiques, food and jewelry! It is massive! After that we went back to the hotel to freshen up for dinner. We took the tube close to Lees house and we went out to dinner with his family. It was really nice! Good food. We stayed at dinner very late and then Lee drove us back into the city, which was really nice.
Sunday we went to Brighton! I had wanted to go for a while so it was nice. Lee drove us to Brighton, which was nice so we did not have to take the tube or busses. We got there and it was a really nice day! There is not to much to do there just walk around and enjoy the pebble beach! We walked around the Lanes some and had fish and chips. They used to go to Brighton a lot and had it there a lot, so we figured we had to get it from the best fish and chips place, as Lee calls it. It was very good! We had a really nice day walking around and taking pictures! From there we came back, about a 2-hour drive, and then I had some work to do.
Monday, for theater class I saw the play the Recruiting Officer and it was amazing!! Was a great play, they were in Bath and Stratford for the day so they were doing their own thing. They are now in Paris, until Friday!
