Mind the Gap!

I'm in London.... Finally!

So I've been here for two days now and I still can't wrap my head around it! But last night it became so real I literally almost cried... I met Big Ben. Not to mention had my first pub experience with Fish and Chips and cider to go along with it! 

But let's not get ahead of ourselves now! Yesterday morning when I woke up after three hours of sleep :o I walked with Monica to work, just so she could show me around the area a little better. We stopped by a morning time cafe to grab a pastry and some coffee (which was pretty amazing). 

Further down our path she showed me how to enter the tube....  I have a love/hate relationship with the tube. We carried on our way towards Monica's office where we dropped her off and she sent me on my way! I was now alone in London. To do anything I pleased, and what do you suppose I did with this time? I got lost! I took a wrong turn somewhere on my way back to the flat and ended up getting turned around! Luckly the nice french boy working at Starbucks was able to point me back in the right direction!

When Monica arrived home from work we swiftly left the flat and scurried down to the tube to make our way over to The Albert Pub! And it was absolutely gorgeous! Not normally what you would think when talking about a pub, but the whole front of it was lined with flowers and the inside was furnished with dark wood and had gold around the ceilings! The cider was delicious and the food was even better! Needless to say I didn't think the night could get any better until we took a little stroll down the street and what would come around the corner but non other then Big Ben, The London Eye, and Westminster Abbey! The perfect sight to a tourist! My eyes almost got watery thinking that I was actually there and seeing it with my own two eyes! I can't believe how extremely blessed I am to be able to come over here and experience this in my life!

Well that's all for now loves! I've got a bunch more Chasing London to do!!!
