"What is my life right now?"- schweeeamie duff

So today we were in London from bright this morning until right now- 8:30 and about to get on the train back to Liss. It was so fun and absolutely endearing. We spent the morning at a park and then went to the local grocery store and ate lunch with a yummy bottle of wine in the park. We then crossed the street to see the oh so bland Buckingham Palace. And I'm not being sarcastic with that. If you are planning on going to London soon for sure skip this site.
We then walked to where we were meeting our tour guide- who was waiting on bike. From 2:30 to 8 we biked around the city and it was absolutely amazing. Altogether it was a little over 10 miles and I loved every inch of it! From the famous sites of the London Bridge to the cottage cheese shop that has a cute story I was in awe. I had my IPod blaring in my ears and I truly felt like I had this amazing soundtrack playing to my rockin life. We saw monuments for William Wallace, where movies like Bridget Jones and Closer were filmed, the lower income housing, and beautifully stunning gardens.
My souvenir from today will most likely be the bruises on my bum though! I remember sitting and talking to Jamie on the phone when she first got back and she was talking about how much she missed Italy and the experience of going over seas and it not being a missions trip. How she just continually felt Gods abundant love poured over her. I kept thinking about that today and was completely able to relate. There is something about seeing things that are so beyond your own personal knowledge and knowing that God created them for His and your enjoyment that just sends your mind and spirit reeling.
I am so so thankful for these 2 months today and just alive in a way that I haven't been in a long time. Krista- the following will stress you out. Beware. Most of the time we were on busy streets today and London is a great comparison to NYC in some ways. So often we were riding bikes with cars flying past within our touch. I was laughing so hard and just breathing in the adrenaline. I would look behind me and see frightened faces and would laugh even harder thinking about how scary it really was. Krista- I lived today for both of us and am completely alive with no broken bones so dont ever feel the pressure to do what we just accomplished.
I miss all of you and am so thankful to hear from you when I do. Brooke has been the best by far- no shocker there. Life is abundantly beautiful and I will forever remember all that I'm experiencing here. i often think about my mom and her memories when she was younger than me and going through Europe. I keep having these reality checks that even when I'm in my 50s i'll be talking about what I did today!!! That's crazy.
Polly- I've analyzed every woman's wardrobe all day and can't wait for us to discuss.
Well about to get on the train and back tothe books and deep thoughts.

loving you all and update soon!
