LONDON!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!
I knew I would like this city when I got off the tube at Earl's Court and there was a TARDIS right freaking there!!! AHH!!! And our hotel is absolutely fabulous: small but nice and cozy with separate beds and a bathroom per room and a BATHTUB with JACUZZI JETS and a TV and a refrigerator in the room and just....wow. I feel like I've fallen into the lap of luxury. The only thing is that the internet is super expensive here, hence this being up a day late.
So after a quick lunch and a TARDIS picture taking session, we jumped on the tube (surprisingly not as intimidating as I'd feared) and went to the Tate Britain to view some landscape-y type paintings by Turner, as well as the pre-Raphaelite exhibit. (Which was interesting considering we viewed that famous portrait of Ophelia drowning and the lady who posed for it in a bathtub for months got really sick from that and later that night I took a bath instead of a shower and thought of Ophelia) I was the nerd who took too many notes when they told us to take notes, but it's fine.
From there, we took a boat up the Thames and went to Piccadilly Circus and holy cow is that place insane. Sooooo many people. Little intimidating. But it was okay, because I MET MARIA IN REAL LIFE!! And she is just as amazing in person as online and we had fantastic conversations and just hung out and it was WONDERFUL. And apparently we're like the same person, because when she walked me back to the hotel to meet some of the rest of the group, Erica and Sarah B immediately started commenting on how we had the same voice and mannerisms and facial expressions and such, so that was also kind of fantastic.
Basically everything thus far has been brilliant.
I LOVE LONDON!!!!!
