In love with London!!!

hi from London!!

We arrived yesterday morning, and it is everything we'd hoped (and then some!)... We met in Heathrow and took the tube (like pros) to our hostel, which is nice but SO cold! Yikes! It's in a great spot though- walking distance to The Eye and Big Ben and lots of fun things. We had lunch in a great little cafe and the waitress loved our accents, which was really surprising. We watched the inauguration in our hostel, and it was a big news story here which was cool. We got to go to the famous Madame Tousades wax museum for free as Americans because of it, which was real fun. Then last night we went to a bar (agh! Legally!) with 2 very cool guys from our hostel (one from oklahoma- I wondered silently if he knows Hanson... The other from Australia. It was SO much fun! Great conversations with such interesting people... When we were walking there, we unexpectadly saw Big Ben and Parliement, which was absolutely amazing. They were all lit up and just beautiful, I was so in awe.

Today we went to Harrods, which was cool, but not as cool as everyone makes it sound, in my opinion... Then we took the tube exploring random areas. There are cool things to see everywhere, literally.

All for now, my friends (or "mates", as my new Australian friend says!). I hope all is well. I can't lie, I don't miss you guys all that much yet, because London is bloody brilliant!! Haha, just teasing. Love you all and send hugs and kisses from across the Atlantic.

Love,
Emily
