Weekend with Beth!

Beth came to visit last weekend! She and two of her sorority sisters (Emily and Samantha) came to London for five days and we had so much fun! It was great to take her to all of the touristy places in London. Some I had not even been to yet. We saw Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Harrods, Piccadilly Circus, The Victoria and Albert Museum, went shopping at markets, and rode the London Eye! At night we hung out at pubs, which was really fun, and went to some dance clubs in Soho and Leicester Square. Below is a picture of Beth and I in front of Westminster Abbey. Then is a picture of Lindsay, Emily, Beth, Me, and Samantha on top of a monument at Trafalgar Square. The third is of Beth, Emily, and I inside the London Eye.



The London Eye was amazing! We went on a day that was super clear and sunny so we could see the entire city. I even picked out the street that I live on when we were at the top! My second favorite place we went was the Victoria and Albert Museum. It is a massive museum of art and design filled with thousands of artifacts from all over the world! They had interesting fashion, textile, silver, stained glass, and sculptor rooms, but the best was the jewelry display that had thousands of pieces of antique jewelry.

I love Cathedrals and St. Paul's was breathtaking inside! We even went up into the huge rotunda and looked down at London from the top. Above is a picture of Beth at the top of the Cathedral freaking out because she's afraid of heights, haha. After our visit, we stayed for an Evensong mass where an amazing men's choir sang almost the entire time.

It was so much fun seeing Beth and her friends! It made me miss home a little, but I am still loving London! I cannot believe that I am coming home in 2 weeks. My time here has gone so fast!
