My sorority sister Megan (in the middle), and her cousin Neely (on the right) made it to London safely!... They actually just left today! (and they had been here for 10 full days, that is how long it has been since i have written on here!) We had a very fun time while they were here!... They got here early on a Friday morning, and practically slept the entire rest of the day, then last Saturday, we went to the Tower of London, and saw the Crown Jewels... it was a very fun, though the crown jewels werent what i thought they were going to be, they were still beautiful... i saw a 533 carat diamond!... it was AMAZING! Saturday flew by, and that night, we went out with my friend Ashley to a couple of places, nothing too exciting... and we came home and experienced the London cheese-- it is SOO good! I have seen so many "fromageries" (French for cheese, sp?) over here, that are just stored full of any kind of cheese you can possibly imagine! I knew the white cheddar was good, and we were going to get some of that, and while we were there-- this guy at the grocery store told us to get the Red Leicester cheese, he said it was "lovely" (i LOVE the way they talk over here!), so we got the "lovely" Red Leicester cheese, and he was right-- it was great! we all loved it!... We went to sleep after our cheese fest, and woke up the next morning to go to the Camden Lock Market. I always knew it was huge, but we found an entirely differenct section than I had ever seen! We got there early enough to eat lunch, and then stayed until almost 7 o clock!... we STILL didnt see everything we wanted to! While we were at the market, we found this vintage store called Berty & Gerty, and there I found a vintage snakeskin Fendi clutch!... needless to say, i picked it up-- and had a death grip on it the whole way up to the cash register! That was my exciting first weekend with my friends... the rest of the week only gets better!...........
