My favorite thing to do in London so far is to see and absorb as many things as possible. At night, this city's treasures surprise me all over again. Lucky for me, my entire UConn group was treated to a double decker bus tour of London. You can see some pretty amazing sights looking out the window of an ordinary one story bus but that extra story really enhances everything, especially one with an open top. The only issue with this open double decker bus was the fact that it was only about 40 degrees, so by the end, my entire body was stiff with cold. However, it was completely worth it. We started the tour right near my apartment in Central London and worked our way around, going to places like St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham's Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Tower of London. I'm still hoping to further explore these places in the future because a lot of them offer free tours, and sorry for this cliche, but "free" is my middle name. The tour guide varied his information by decades. One second he would be talking about all the people murdered in the Tower of London, like most of King Henry's wife's, and the next second he would talk about different places where James Bond, and Harry Potter were shot. In the end I had an amazing time and I can't wait to keep you all updated with how I am doing here. Classes started today so I won't have much to write till the weekend because then we are taking a trip to Bath. Miss you all!
