Top of the Evenin' to Ya


Three days until SPRING BREAK!!! This past Friday night I worked on papers and just chilled in my room. But Saturday was a crazy packed day...I left at 11:50 and didn't get home until almost 10! I left to go see Picnic at Rose Bruford College, a major drama school about thirty minutes outside of London. The play was fantastic. It also was pretty nice to take the train out of London for a few hours. Once we arrived back at Tower Bridge, Olivia, Andrew, and myself went to Borough market for the last 45 minutes it was open. When that closed, Olivia and I made our way to Trafalgar Square to meet up with Deanna and her boyfriend Kyle!! He flew in yesterday morning and is here for a week which is pretty exciting. Spring Break 2013 is going to be a blast. The four of us walked to Buckingham Palace. A month in London and I can finally say I've seen the Queen's home. Now to go back in the daylight and get better pictures of it... We then tried to find a pub, but seeing as it was late most of the pubs in that busy area were already full. We tried the Sherlock Holmes pub, but to no avail. I will have to go back at some point though...it looks pretty cool! We ended up at the Royal George, a nearby pub that is really good. A long but great day! Today is St. Patrick's Day and naturally all of my green clothing is in America. In order to celebrate, a bunch of us went to Trafalgar Square where there was a St. Patrick's Day festival. Green was everywhere and live music was playing. Trafalgar Square hosts several festivals a year...yesterday there was actually a Russian festival that we passed. It's pretty cool! London is thriving and is as wonderful as ever.
