Harvey - our dog
It seems crazy to think that I have been here for over two weeks already. I am pretty impressed with my transition so far! I woke up early on Sunday to catch the guard change at Buckingham palace that I have been wanting to go to since I got here. The guard change happens every even day and it was really fascinating. I went with a friend and we didn't know what was going to happen at all, luckily there were people that could tell us where was best to stand. There were a lot of people there, so next time I go, I will make sure to do it on a weekday. The preciseness of the guards is really cool. I wasn't able to get close to the gate to see the actual changing of the guards, so I will make sure to get a spot there next time. After the guard change, we were on our way back home when we ran into a small market. There were really pretty original oil paintings. I could have spent an hour looking through them all. I really hope to be able to get one while I am here, if I can figure out how to get it home! Later, I went to Camden Market with Ashley. London has a lot of markets to go to on Sundays, which is really fun especially while the weather is nice. Camden Market is known for selling clothes but has turned into more of a tourist area, so there were a lot of souvenirs.The time here is going so fast already, and I have started coming up with ideas for my 9 day fall break! This is happening in about a month, so I am trying to figure out where I want to go during this time. It is hard to plan a trip to a country that you have never been to, but I know this will make it an adventure! As of right now, I am planning to go a few places in Italy and end the week in Germany at the Werner's for Milena's birthday.
