Today was a day of relaxation and enjoyment. Having to work on projects and running all over London doesn't leave too much downtime so I really enjoyed having a day in to myself. Yesterday however was a ton of fun. After finishing our group video and taking a short break my classmates and I were treated to a great view of the city via the famous London Eye. I knew the London Eye was big, but it's a whole new monster when it's standing right in front of you. We were able to get a capsule to ourselves as a class and the views were brilliant. I give huge kudos to my friend and flatmate Melissa for working up the courage to go on the London Eye even though she is terrified of heights. Getting to see the entire city from that perspective is an experience I will keep with me for the rest of my life and hopefully get to experience it again soon.
After the great views from above we were able to enjoy a stroll alongside the River Thames on our way to the Globe Theater. The riverside is such a vibrant area. There are street performers, pubs, food carts, shops, and lots of interesting people. I wish I had discovered this place sooner. I would have hung out there with any spare moment. This city just keeps getting better and better. Being able to see all of it is impossible in three weeks. I don't know when I will see you again London, but I will be seeing you again for sure.
