The weekend after Semana Santa,
Christi, Tucker and I traveled to London. Seeing how all three of us had been
there before, the main attraction was going to be the tour of the sets of Harry
Potter at Warner Bros. Studios, but that’s for an upcoming post.

We flew out on Friday afternoon and
basically just took Friday evening to get settled into out hostel and buy
groceries for lunches for the upcoming days.

| Big Ben |
Saturday we walked around all the
typical tourist sights: Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben,
Trafalgar Square, and in the afternoon took a ride in the London Eye. The
London Eye is basically just a huge Ferris wheel with enclosed pods. I have
always wanted to do this, so I was really excited. It was cloudy and a bit
rainy that day, but it was still really cool to see the skyline of London from
high up.

Then we popped into Tate Modern for
a little bit, went across Millennium Bridge, and saw St. Paul’s Cathedral
before eating Chinese buffet for supper, which, seriously, tasted like heaven.
I miss Chinese food so much!
