My Europe trip has officially begun. First stop: London.
But im getting ahead of myself. The plane ride to London was an adventure all in itself. I had a ten hour layover in Atlanta....which consisted of fun card games, twister, yoga, and scavenger hunts. Some of the best times I've ever had with some pretty great people.
The plane to London was a weird experience. A very smooth flight. Could not have asked for better. But lucky for me i got to sit next to this annoying kid with three different pairs of gigantic headphones and loud music. And when he fell asleep he thought it would be acceptable to sleep on my shoulder. Think again.
I didn't sleep very well.. Not enough room for me to sit comfortably enough to sleep. However, i did watch two movies...and i had a window seat. So i was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. There is no view like the one i saw. The dark blue met the deep blue water. And the stars reflected. Clouds drifted. It was so amazing. As if that wasn't enough...the sun had to rise.
The sky turned into a giant canvas, and the Lord himself painted the most amazing sight in the universe. The starry sky slowly melted into a deep red, all reflecting off of the water and clouds. It brought tears to my eyes. The stars slowly faded away and the sky became a mixture of all shades of red and orange. Then yellow...and eventually blue. I can't describe how amazing it was to see. And how amazing it felt to take it all in.
Continuing on...London. I fell in love with this city. We saw castles and the Millennium Bridge (Harry Potter fan right here!!!!). The Shakespeare Globe theater. Just walking down the street was awesome. So many accents and languages!!! I also love how this city is a mix of vintage and modern. The buildings and people. It's perfect.
There is no air in our room...and we happen to be in London during a freak heat wave....ha. Our luck! But its all worth it.
Now we are tv and enjoying the British accents.
Gosh...im loving it here.
Best.trip.ever.
Off to go do more adventuring!!
