Postcard Child: Catching up...again...

I'm all packed up. I'm just sitting here biding my time until I get on an airplane tomorrow morning headed for Madrid to meet three wonderful people! My mom, my brother Ken, and my sister Ruthie are all headed to Spain as I type!

In order to prepare the blog for the combined Murray adventures I need to catch up on what's happened since Semana Santa!

Well, the Tuesday after Easter I got on a plane with my friend Gabby and we flew to the rainy little island of England!!!!

We spent a week in London with our friend Trisha in her dorm room at University College London.

I had always wanted to go to England. My dad was born in Wales, and my favorite stories in history take place in England! I was beyond excited to be surrounded by the history.

I immediately fell in love with the city, and was very happy to be immersed in my native language once again.

That week, we visited Westminster Abbey, The Parliament building and Big Ben, The Millenium Bridge, The West Bank, The London Eye, The Globe Theatre, St Pauls Cathedral, and the Camden Street Market.

London is a HUGE city and there was no way I could have seen everything in just the one visit, so I have no doubt I will be visiting again in the not too distant future.

The best part of the trip was Friday! We went to the Doctor Who Exhibition and then we wandered around town to see 221B Baker Street (the home of Sherlock Holmes) as well as the home of Charles Dickens! Then we ended the night splitting up to see different shows. Gabby went to the National Theatre to see Benedict Cumberbatch in Frankenstein while I headed down to the globe to see All's Well that Ends Well -- one of the BEST experiences of my life!!! Here are some picture highlights!
