Can I Say Wicked in England?: My Last Weekend In London:

Last weekend, after a big turkey dinner provided by my program, I was lucky enough to take the train back to London and spend the weekend with my family and one of my best friends, Kelsey. Friday morning, I had to wake up and finish a paper...I didn't like that since I couldn't visit the tower of London, but I sat in Starbucks and everything was so Christmasy and cozy. So I can't really complain, because even though I had work to finish, it was a beautiful morning!

   I was so excited to see Kelsey! She is studying abroad in Grenada Spain and I hadn't seen her in almost 6 months! So Friday afternoon was great because we got to catch up and shop and walk around and it was so nice to see someone from the burg! The rest of the weekend my sister and me and Kelsey just walked around and our parents took us to this amazing restaurant called Hush. Yummmm. Friday night one of the finniest things was that we wanted to find a chill pub to go to because we didn't want to go crazy at a nightclub. So it was maybe..1030 and we thought we had plenty of time. BUT Apparently, pubs close at 11! I thought that was crazy and then we couldn't go out anymore! It's okay because we were really tired and we ended up catching a good sleep.
   Saturday, we shopped more and spent the afternoon at Harrods! Harrods is absolutely wild...There is no better way to describe it because it's so overwhelming. We had a great afternoon snack and then we wandered around for a few minutes and ended up in the evening gown section which was insane. I felt like I was on a fashion runway and you can imagine how out of place I felt in my bright blue northface. But, we also found the Harry Potter section! Now that was amazing and they had wands, and cloaks, and brooms, and dresses! It made me feel like a little kid on Christmas morning and my sister and Kelsey both loved it too.
   Basically, we all had an amazing weekend and I was a little sad to see Kelsey and my family go home. But it's also insane to think that in just 3 weeks, I will be home with everyone. This next weekend will be my last weekend traveling and I'm going to Copenhagen to see Margaret and Meimei! I'm so excited for my last trip and to go Denmark! After that, I'm only in Bath for a week and a half and then shipping off to Boston!
