Well everyone I believe this will be my last blog post on here seeing as I fly home for the States on Saturday. But before I say goodbye to this amazing trip I'll fill you in on the past week.
Last Wednesday my parents flew in to London and with perfect timing by me of course I got there right as they were walking out of customs. I got them safely around London and set the up with tube passes and directions to their hotel since I had a final I had to study for. I knew I wouldn't see them until the next day because their jet lag would kick in and they would likely be out for the night shortly anyways =) As I later found out I was right...they were out by I think 7 o'clock.
The next day was our tourist day and I took my parents to see Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, The Eye, a couple pubs, and ended up at Tower of London. The following day we saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace... more like just a bunch of people walking around. Was very anticlimactic to be completely honest. After that we walked through the gardens to Harrod's where we walked through and saw all the Princess Diana monuments within Harrod's and did a small bit of shopping. After that I took them through Hyde Park and gave them directions back to their hotel so they could get ready to go see Blood Brothers.
On Saturday we went to the service at St. Paul's Cathedral and got to see some amazing views inside of it. After that we went to dinner and then to bed for an early night since we had to get up early to leave for Paris! The train left at the incredibly early hour of 8ish, and I slept the entire way. In Paris we went around and saw the Louvre, The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and basically all the sights I saw before. We had some delicious meals and had a nice relaxing couple of days! I am still in love with the city of Paris, it is by far one of the better cities I saw even though each one had its own individual atmosphere.
Well everyone I hope you've enjoyed reading about my travels and happenings while abroad! It won't be long now before I'm back on the same side of the pond as all you! I better get back to packing up my stuff so I'm not scrambling around last minute on Friday... It has been an INCREDIBLE time these past few months and I would not change a thing! Cheers and I'm sure I'll bee seeing all of you shortly! Thanks for reading and following along!!!
