London was cool, in both senses of the word! Freezing, especially compared to how hot it has been in Madrid until recently. Other downside, super expensive with the pound and all, worse than the euro! Besides those two things I had a really good time. We visited the National Gallery of Art, London Bridge, London Tower, Parliament, Big Ben, Abbey Road, went clubbing and to a traditional British pub. I have some pictures from the trip that I will upload soon.
We did loads of walking and now I'm super tired since I got home yesterday and had to get up at 7:15 for class, ugh. Two comical occurrences from the trip: this pretty cute Russian guy hit on me, and when I turned him down proceeded to hit on my friend; this really drunk guy came up to me at 3 in the morning to ask for directions and then went on to say ''you're shorter than I've ever seen a girl before...That's terrible!'' Ridiculous but hilarious.
Also, curiously enough most people from London that we interacted with were excited that we were from the US. People said things like ''God bless America'' and ''I love your accent.'' Weird right? I guess there feelings from the whole declaring-independence-from-England thing. Everyone there is very polite and sweet. If it wasn't for the weather, weird food and expensiveness I'd totally live there for a bit.
