My First 2 days in England

Birds-eye view of English Countryside


This will have to be a short blog, being as that I'm absolutley knackered as they would say over here. Well my flight got in yesterday at 9:30 am. We took the bus and then the train to get back to Maggy's house, which is adorable! We hung around here and cooked and baked and walked to a nearby market for some wine. We took a quick trip to the mall near her, just to put money in the bank though, didn't really get a chance to see it. Then later in the evening we stopped by the pub that Maggy works at. It was really just a chill day for the most part.

Of Course...
My first time on the tube

Then today we left the house a lil after 8 am to head into London. Maggy had class, during which time I wondered my way to The British Museum. It was really incredible, nice to have some adult time to see these amazing things. We walked through London to get to her school and walking over the River Thames, I could see half the city. The London Eye, Big Ben, Houses of Parliment, Shakespears Globe, just everything. It was such a beautiful view! Then we went to the London Dungeoun (awsomely creepy!), and then to Madame Toussauds Wax Museum (hilarious!). Last on the agenda for the night, we went to this new, modern, dim sum resteraunt called Ping Pong w/ 2 of Maggys close friends. The food was awsome, and it was great to try these new foods being as that Scott isn't a big fan of new foods, and the Chinese beer was good too. Than we ran to catch the train home after filling ourselves with foor and beer.... not a good idea. haha. Now we are back at her house and I have to get up at 6 am tomorrow to head back into London for another all day London outing, so i need to get to bed. Sorry this was so short and there are no pics. I won't be able to add pics til I get home. But thats been my first 2 days. Another update is soon to come.
