Few of my favorite things

Closing my eyes I listened to the sounds around me. Surrounded by the chatter of different languages, laughter of the family sitting next to me, and city life. I could feel the suns warmth on my head and back. I opened my eyes and gaze at the most beautiful building I have ever seen. The detail and structure keeps me coming back. Bright gold covers this building and it sparkles in the sunlight. Statues carved inbetween the windows, green traces the clock of the tower. Big Ben and Parliment is my favorite place of all London. I like to find a place in the square next to Big Ben and stare at him. It never gets old. I love when the bells chime and inform people of the time. Coffee in hand, I took another sip. Pure bliss. 

I sat there thinking about all the times I promised myself I would do this when I was a little girl. How many hours I dreamt of this very thing. Living in England, exploring London. I can now help give people directions, and they are correct and helpful! I couldn't even do that in Molalla (which is sad since I lived there my whole life lol). As I stood up from my spot on a curb by some shrubberies I decide to walk to Buckingham Palace. London is lovely in the fall. The trees are changing all different colors and yes, I do run through the leaves on the ground when no one is looking. 

These are some of my favorite things.....

Me staring at Big Ben. (Can you find me? Lol)

I walk to the church everyday and I love turning this corner onto Inmans Row and seeing this view!

I love my time with the fam. And I hate half term. Four of them are missing! So looking forward to Sunday when we are all back together!

Our pub The Horse and Well. 

Us hanging out inside the pub. I'm back to tea. (Sorry Ben and Moritz)

It is a tradition to have a Sunday Roast. And it's a good one! I love Yorkshire Puddings! 

And I love exploring with my fellow American!
