Walking in a Dream...

Ok, so since I still have a whole day of Scotland to report (which I feel like procrastinating) I think I'm gonna do a little post on what I've been doing recently!
(mostly pictures)


As much time as I've spent walking through Hyde Park I never found the Peter Pan statue. It's a huge park! So, yesterday I decided to hunt it down.

While I was taking pictures of the statue these two little old men came up and started talking to me. One of them claimed to be the model used for Peter Pan. After a moment I realized that would mean he was 104 years old. Old british men think they're soooo funny.

All the kids here wear cute little uniforms and I LOVE it! Makes me want to put my kids in private school just so they get cute little hats with ribbons. That's why people do it right?

We also went to a place called Kew Gardens which kind of reminded me of the LA Arboretum except bigger and with more green houses. It was really pretty!





I thought this building was so rad. I kind of wish I knew more about plants! How cool would it be to have a green house someday, like a fully legit greenhouse where you can do your gardening? I might just have to learn...


There was this cool tree top area too, where you could walk around. I kind of forgot I was in London...
And then this happened.



THE RAINS CAME DOWN! This is the first time we've experienced a real London down-pour. It was actually ironic because me and my friend Kristen were just talking about how we wanted to see some rain. Of course, the day we have Kew Gardens scheduled is the day it happens. Tremendous. Gotta love the English weather :-)

Today I went to The Orangery with some of the girls! It's this cute little tea room/restaurant next to Kensington palace.
I got chamomile tea, a scone with jam and clotted cream, and a chocolate gâteaux. mmmm yummy. but kind of expensive :-) Oh well! Had to do it once.






Basically, life is good. Also! Today marks the one month mark meaning I have exactly two weeks left here. Some times I get worried that I'm starting to take things for granted. I'm getting too comfortable here. Like today I was walking through the park to the Orangery and I was completely unfazed. I mean, it was nice to be outside but once upon a time I would skip through hyde park with wide eyes and take in everything I possibly could. I want to get back to that point because before you know it I'll be home and this whole thing will probably feel like a dream.
