It was pretty much a disastrous day...I got motion sickness on the train to Paris, and once we got here we ended up sitting outside the train station for 4 hours for our bus. (that never came might I add) We finally decided to jump in cabs and drive to the hotel. After we settled in to the hotel we grabbed some dinner at this really good restaurant down the street. Our room is pretty nice, it's a hotel rather than a hostel so we get clean towels and our rooms are cleaned every day! The best part is the incredible view of the Eiffel tower out our window! It is much more impressive in really life than the pictures...Trust me! :) I just can't believe I'm in Paris!!!!

Thursday June 21, 2007: Last day in London!

Today was our last day in London. It's sad because we all started to feel at home here. Last night we went to the play Wicked and it was so good! I am so happy I decided to go. We spent most of the day going to souvenir shops and having our last dinner in England. Our train leaves for Paris tomorrow morning at nine and its a three hour ride. We have mixed feelings about going to Paris with the language barrier and the fact they don't like us much :) but I don't really mind..its all part of the experience and won't stop me from enjoying France! GOOD BYE LONDON, HELLO PARIS! :)

This morning a group of us woke up to stand in line to get discount tickets to the play Wicked. The play is a twist of the wizard of oz and I heard nothing but good things about it so I decided to go. After we got our tickets (front row I might add) we went to the Syon house. To be honest..the tour guide was really boring! haha I just sketched the whole time though. I am getting a lot better at sketching and I'm even starting to enjoy doing it! Tomorrow is our last day in London! We are all pretty sad about it but also excited to move on to Paris.

Tuesday: Chatsworth!

Chatsworth! It was so amazing there. I was much more impressed with the grounds then the actual house though. We really just zipped through the house and went straight to the gardens. The tour through the house was quite entertaining, we ended up meeting these three old ladies who had more energy than us! They were so hilarious. We even took some pictures with them haha. We found out that they were all around 88 years old! They really made our whole day.
