So, after going out Friday night, which was a lot of fun, we got up Saturday for a walking tour of the city with a Shakespeare and Dicken's theme. The walk was interesting but there were two things that made it hard to enjoy:
1. The first was that before we went out Friday night I had fallen on the stairs in my friends apartment and twisted my ankle. After walking on it all Friday night, going on a walking tour with a hurt ankle wasn' the most fun.
2. Also, it was REALLY cold. It's been surprisingly cold here. We all expected much milder winter but it's been almost as cold as Boston, so after walking around for two hours we were all mildly frozen.
Besides that, it was cool to walk around the city and our tour guide was really nice, it showed us some interesting areas of the city especially the older parts of London and the center of the city which is the only part that is technically London, not a borough.
Saturday night I was exhausted (and had a very sore foot) so I decided to stay home. Hannah and watched Little Ms. Sunshine and I updated my blog :)

On Sunday we had a bus tour of the city. It was great to see the whole city from the comfort of a tour bus after walking all week. The tour guide was a sweet Biritsh woman with a very "proper" British accent. She was funny and it was interesting to hear what she had to say about London.
London Bridge, a tad diappointing

Gates to Buckingham Palace
After the tour we went home and I got ready for the very busy week ahead!
Sending my love,
