JUNE 27

ok so i didn't sleep well at all last night. I woke up at two thirty and couldn't get back to sleep. It was really lame :(. I woke up this morning and went down stairs for breakfast because I was absolutely starving from not eating very much yesterday but the food was horrible. I have forgotten how bad the food can be in Europe. Maybe i am just spoiled by my peanut butter captian crunch. So for our walking tour class we have to walk all over london and see everything and do these certain routes which is sort of lame because you get lost or you don't really learn that much so its just looking at random things around the city. It was kinda a gloomy day and it started raining which sucked. London is such a beautiful city. The buildings are so old and they just age so well. I can't believe how well new buildings and old buildings mesh. I feel like no one takes credit cards it is seriously so lame. we went to this little hole in the wall sandwich shop which was amazing and they made my sandwhich and I handed the girl my card and she was like sorry no credit cards. so I had to run to an atm thankfully we were in the financial part of london where there were a lot of banks. So I guess now cash it is :(. things are so expensive here it is a bummer. but I guess plays are pretty cheap so thats good. I can't wait to see phantom and les mis. I have to do it on a say that jet lag isn't killing me though. I've been doing a little church hopping myself. i was praying in a catholic cathedral. if they were so dark and depressing and smelt a little better i bet the spirit might stop by. lol just kidding. I was also in a crypt beneth the church..cool but a little morbid especially since there was a weird restaurant down there.

JUNE 26

We went to the pub and everyone was crazy and yelling and cheering it was so fun. Spain was playing russia and spain won..I was sad. anyways I got here fine but when I went to get my ticket for my train and my confermation number didn't work but then i talked to the manager and he gave me a complementary ticket. I got on the train and got to paddington station and was lugging around my stuff trying to find the taxi. i finally found the long a taxi line and waited for half and hour then got in a taxi and didn't have british pounds on me so I paid him in american cash because he didn't take credit cards and it cost twelve dollars and I only had six. Thankfully he was really nice and I just gave him what I had. crazy huh? but thats not the end of my adventure..he dropped me off on the wrong side of the street and I spent forever trying to find the place only to realize that it was on the other side..duh. Anyways I made it and it had been a fun day. It already 10 pm so I have to force myself to go to sleep.
