Not so good...

So obviously I'm not so good at updating this thing...I am still in London and absolutely loving it!! There is so much to see and do here I feel like I need 2 more months instead of only 2 more days! This past week and a half has been fantastic. We have seen and done so much!!! I have seen 5 shows (Sound of Music, Blood Brothers, Chicago, Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked), gone to two fantastic museums, shopped (of course), and walked all over London.

Today a group of us decided to take a break from the busy city and go out to the castle at Dover and the great white cliffs near the English Channel. We took a two hour train ride south of London and walked through a cute little city up to the castle. The view from the castle was incredible!! The English countryside is so pretty and green. It's just like you see in pictures-huge, rolling green hills dotted with sheet and cute little English towns. We walked around the castle for a bit and then headed out to the cliffs. When we first got to Dover the weather was terrible. It was misting rain and super windy (and of course I had neither a jacket nor an umbrella...). But luckily by the time we were ready to go explore the cliffs it had cleared up and turned out to be a really nice day. We explored the cliffs for a few hours, hiking and climbing, and sliding around. They were amazing...it looked like a scene from the Sound of Music or Heidi. After we had had our fill of the cliffs, we went back to the town, had dinner, and got back on the train to get back to London. It was a great day trip!!

We only have 2 full days left and so much still do to....visit the cousins, go to tea time, more shopping of course, visit the Tate Modern, see the city lights at night...and countless other things. Two more days to go...
