{TBT - England}

TBT stands for Throwback Thursday. I'm going to try to blog every Thursday [wish me luck] about something in the past.
For this first TBT I want to start documenting our Study abroad trip that we took way back in 2010. It was amazing. 6 weeks 9 countries. Amazing. Very little "studying" involved lol

I started the blog a few months after this trip so we don't have a lot of the pictures documented and stories told. I did make some scrapbooks from our trip but those consisted mostly of metro passes, museum brochures, plane tickets, maps, and only a few pictures.

So let us start off with our first stop - London, England. We spent about 3 days there.

"The damage to these walls is the result of enemy bombing during the blitz of the second world war 1939-1945 and is left as a memorial to the enduring values of this great museum in a time of conflict"

We saw Les Miserables on our 1 year anniversary!

We saw Macbeth at Shakespeare's Globe Theater

Tower of London

The Tower of London - we also saw the Crown Jewels - amazing! and the Fusilier Museum

We visited all sorts of museums including the British Museum, The National Gallery, Tate Modern, and Natural History Museum

Delicious Fish and Chips, o'course

Big Ben

Westminster Abbey

I miss the Tubes....

Other things to note/memories made:

-We saw J.Lo at a movie premiere

- Trafalga Square

- Millenial Bridge

- Ridiculous nice Italian restaurant in our street clothes..oops :)

- Visited PWC [one of our few "study" moments during this "study abroad"]

- Visited Portabello Road and it was just as magical as I had imagined. I got one of my favorite necklaces and a vintage dress that fits me perfectly.

London was lovely. It was a great place to start our little tour of Europe. I miss it.

I want to go back and visit so bad!
