Abby's Summer Travels
ok so last quick summary was about work now other things I have been doing.....
We have found a great little pub/bar by us that is nice and we go to fairly often. It is a bit classier but still good times. Its great because there are so many places for us to go out to and hang out.
We took a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath. Stoneheng was giant rocks that are mysterious and know one really knows how they got there? But it is a definite place one must stop just to say they have been there. Bath was a beautiful Georgian City. "Georgian" I think is like the time period. There were ancient Roman baths there the water came from natural hot springs.
Paul another person in study abroad works for a rugby team and got us free tickets to a Rugby Match! It was fun.
Many walks and attempted jogging, and lounging in Hyde Park on beautiful days.
Lots of shopping!! We have been to several markets which are great. Mo and I went to Carnaby St. one day. This street used to be huge in the 60's from we have been told. Now it is where the vintage shops are. I got a great pair of vintage shoes!
Only have been to a few museums. Monday 12th I went to the Victoria & Albert Museum which I loved!! They had a great fashion exhibit and much more. You could definetly spend a few days there because it is so big. In the fashion exhibit they had a special extra exhibit on the 60's and in the regular exhibit they had a dress that Princess Diana wore (the white one w/ pearls) it was beautiful.
Last night I went to Mary Poppins the muscial. It was absolutely Brillant (British slang)! I love musicals any way. Next week we are going to see the Phantom of the Opera which I am equally excited about.
This weekend.... Lots of people are leaving town to go to Paris and Dublin and some of the guys are going sky diving in Austria. I'm staying here to do more sight seeing. Plus I am traveling a whole week extra after the whole London experience is over.
Thats all for now hope that was a good catch up....
sorry to get behind...
Later
