People, People, People




This city never stops.  We never stop.  Yesterday we went to the tower of London and it was really cool!  We got to see the two biggest diamonds in the world and all of the queen's jewelry.  It was amazing.  Later that day we went shopping and just explored around.  As we were walking home, we saw a bunch of people standing around waiting for someone.  We thought it was a celebrity.  A person told us it was the queen so we waited for her to come out and we saw her!!  She was only about 40 feet away.  A lot of people who live in England have never even seen the queen.  I have never even seen President Bush!   It was a cool experience.  Later that night we all went to a club.  It was pretty intense.  I actually got homesick from being in such an extreme environment, but it was still fun.  We found out the tube closes at 1 a.m. so we had no way back.  We took a random bus, then walked the rest of the way.  Needless to say it was pretty scary and very far.  We were lost half the time.  We finally got home around 3:45.  Yeah.  Today we went to the Hamptons Court Palace.  The gardens there were so beautiful!!!  All I could think of was how much my mom would love the flowers.  After we went to a market.  I bought some fish n' chips.  Then we took the tube to another market and that was insane!!!  There were so many people (mostly gothic)!  It was weird!  Very fun though.  I bought my sisters a present.  As we were leaving, I saw a sign in the tube that said over 55,700 people go through this tube station every Saturday.  WOW!  Insane.  Insane.
