London Town

Sorry about the lack of posts. My internet has just started working again. So here's an update with pictures from the last two weeks.

I found the underpass from A Clockwork Orange. It was a little sketchy and in this odd roundabout south of the Thames. There was supposed to be a marker that showed which underpass it was but i'm assuming someone stole it. Because that's what I would do to get a piece of Clockwork Orange memorabilia.

I'm a droog

On the way back we stopped by Stamford Bridge to hit up the Chelsea megastore. I was in heaven. I bought a new jersey and some gifts for fellow Chelsea fans back home.

Then it was back to classes for the week. We went to the Globe Theatre for British Life and Culture. It was very interesting and after our tour we had an acting workshop with one of the actors there. Let's just say I won't be changing careers anytime soon.

On Friday we had a day-trip to Bath and Stonehenge. I'd been to both before so in Bath I skipped out on seeing the Roman Baths and met up with my moms friend Peter for lunch in a pub. It was delicious and very British. We then left for Stonehenge. It was windy as you can see from my hair.

Last Saturday was possibly the best day of my life. I finally got to see my Blues play live at Stamford Bridge. Krista came with as she is a fellow football fan. We wore our blue and sang along with the fans. The game was against Bolton Wanderers. Chelsea won 3-0 thanks to beautiful goals from David Luiz (my big hair bud), Didier Drogba (my birthday bud), and Frank Lampard (who is just amazing). After Lampard scored the stands erupted in their song for him. It goes "super, super Frank. super, super Frank. super, super Frank. super Frankie Lampard." It was spectacular. If I had enough money I would be at all their games.

The banners read "super Frankie Lampard" and
"JT Captain, Leader, Legend"

This weekend is spring break. Instead of going to another country we decided to just stick around London and explore more. We made a list of all the things we want to do and have been checking them off. Last night was Indian food in the East End. So delicious and a bit sketchy. Today I went to Camden. I love it there. I would probably want to live there if I ever get to move here permanently. Tonight we are going to get dinner at Tate Modern as the dining room offers spectacular views of London and the Thames.

I'll keep you all updated on the rest of the break. Next weekend is my birthday and also the trip to Scotland. I get to turn 21 at Loch Ness. I think i'm ok with that.
