hayley got here yesterday morning. i got up before the crack of dawn and rode the tube out to the airport to get her. i pretended that i was a londoner going to work. i would have fit in except i was wearing my chacos. it gave me away. that and my all around americanness. so great to have her here!!!
we spent yesterday just chillin' in my friends' flat. that is an apartment in case you don't know your british english. we are working on our vocab while here. rubbish instead of trash. trousers - not pants! that is an important one - b/c pants are underwear here. :) brilliant! cheers! "do you fancy" instead of "would you like". crisps not chips. chips not french fries. now if we could just get the accent down! we did venture across the street to get some proper fish and chips. yum!!
today we headed into the city. london is fantastic! we road the tube in and got off at piccadilly circus station. you come out from underground and into a different world! its amazing! we walked over to trafalgar square.

we toured the national gallery. so much beautiful art. my favorites were the paintings by monet and cezanne. i like the impressionists apparently.

then we went to PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!! IN LONDON.
it was SO good. phantom. in london. i wanted to break out in song on the tube on the way home - but hayley wasn't so keen on that idea. i don't understand why? :)
tomorrow we are going on another adventure into the city. haven't decided where yet - but that is the beauty of it. we are on holiday!!!!! :)
