A London Perspective
The first time I visited London was about three years ago. Returning is something I dreamed of but never figured the possibility. My first time, we spent the short weekend in September doing every tourist activity imaginable: Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, London Eye, Shakespeare Globe, Millennium Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Abbey Road, Harry Potter King's Cross, Camden Markets, The Tower Bridge, plus even saw a Wicked in The Apollo Victoria Theater.

... London!London, you old charmer

After months of planning, saving money, and dreaming of traveling abroad, I’ve officially arrived in London. From the double-decker buses to the oh-so-lovely accents, London is taking my breath away. It’s safe to say I’m definitely not in Ohio anymore!

TWO FEET ON THE GROUND, I’M FINALLY BACK IN LONDON TOWN!
My first three days in London were action packed and with the first utterance of English accents I knew I wasn’t in Kansas anymore. After arriving and unpacking at our flat in Clerkenwell I was ready to experience the city as a true Londonite. London has an identity all of its own distinctly different from major cities even in the United States. As I walked through the streets and visited some of London’s popular tourist attractions I could feel an air of old world class and sophistication. (continue reading...)
