I am writing this post on the airplane now, from London to Rome. I had a great time in London visiting Abbie Brown. We went to the museums the first day, the Tate Britain and the British Museum. We saw a lot of British art and artifacts from all over the world, at the British museum. Although I am not a huge museum fan, I did enjoy the artifacts at the British Museum a lot! Other than the museums, Abbie and I went to a pub almost every night. It was fun because I got to meet all or almost all of her friends from home and her university. It got a little overwhelming at times because there were so many new people! Being the legal age to drink makes things much easier and more fun! Abbie and I also did a little shopping and a lot of walking around! Over the past week, I have spent so much time on the tube and trains, living the London way!

The last day of my trip in London was great! Abbie and I woke up early, got ready, and went downtown. We spent the whole day walking around downtown and a market and Brick Lane. Brick Lane was cool to walk down because it has a ton of thrift shops and vintage shops on it. There are a lot of Hipster people that live in this area, so I saw some very interesting people HAHA. The market was fun to walk around though. I bought a really cute little skirt and a pretty handmade turquoise ring, that I have been wearing every day since. For lunch, Abbie and I met up with one of Abbie's best friends from her university, Jess. She was really nice and fun to talk to. That night, Abbie and I went downtown for dinner to meet up with my friend from DU and freshman roommate, Rachael Kaplan. She is studying abroad in London and just arrived there that day. I wanted Abbie to meet Rachael, because they will both be in London and it would be nice to Rachael to know a familiar face in London! The three of us went to a really good tapas restuarant and overall we had a great night! Well I am off to Rome now for two days and my next post will be from Italy!
