I know everyone is anxious to hear about London, but I was really looking forward to having pictures to show off and that just doesn't seem to be happening any time soon...
Here, a quote from my London Journal to tide you over until I get my photos:
9 May - Monday - Day 1 - 19:00 (7:00 pm) - atop Primrose HillThis is what home feels like. I'm not shocked to be here because I know this city already. And because I know I'll be back someday. There's not even a doubt in my mind anymore. I will be back. This city doesn't look new, it looks familiar. I've never been less shocked to see a new place, and I think it's because I already know this place is not new. It's home. It's already home. Not shocking, not new. Exciting, yes.
And another, because I'm on a roll:
14 May - Saturday - Day 6 - 14:15 (2:15 pm) - my roomI've been many places I thought were home. But everything about those places, everything I loved is already here. This is the centre of my world. Harry Potter is here, Sherlock Holmes is here, Jekyll and Hyde is here. Everything I have ever wanted is here and, as we all know, there is only one thing that could make it better.
And a little list of interesting things I saw (and would have pictures of if my camera was alive):
- The Rosetta Stone
- Lily & James Potter's house
- Snape's potions classroom from movie 1
- Buckingham Palace
- 221b Baker St.
- Paintings by Monet and Van Gogh
- Rosslyn Chapel
- Edinburgh Castle
- Elephant House café - "the birthplace of Harry Potter"
I'm sure I'll write more later. If I remember.
Lately, I've just been working. Got a job at dad's office, doing "office assistant" type stuff. *shrug* It's a job, anyway, and I don't hate it, which is good. Not much else to report. 4th of July is soon. That should be fun. Usually is.
More later, I guess.
