Wait, I'm Actually In a Different Country?!

Today, I finally felt like I was abroad. Until now, I had felt like I was just in another city. Sure, it was exciting to get our own apartment and yes, we wouldn't have done it in the States, but it was too urban for me to really get the feel for London.

HOWEVER. Today, we went on a 4 hour long 2 city walking tour of West Minster and London. It was absolutely breathtaking. We started out at Big Ben, which quite literally blew my mind. Parliament was huge! And elaborate. We then walked through the entire city, saw the changing of the guards, borough market place, London Tower, London Bridge, and so so much more!

It was a lot of walking, but I've never seen anything more breathtaking in my whole life. We are definitely going back to take our time and go inside everywhere, walk around the Tate and such.

Two fun facts: Museums in London are FREE. And there are virtually NO SPEED LIMITS. You literally take your life into your own hands walking around here.

Alright well we are off to explore our surrounding area and meet up with some friends.
Off to the East End Marketplace tomorrow!

Cheers darling!
